Picked the S6 sim free up from Argos and went to the 02 store to ask if they would do a sim swop .

 

Walked in and the staff had changed since i last visited wink

 

Went to desk asked if they would do a sim swop from a S5 mini to a S6 and the answer was yes Bouncy

 

About 15 minutes later thanks to Ryan my new phone was up and by the time i had got to the bus stop was working because i sent a text to myself. Drum

 

The phone is now fast charging at plug socket before i can play with it . The phone that is Happy Dance

 

@Toby can you please put a good word in please. Was The Oldham Spindles store around 11-30 thank you.

You don't want the Neo version though. They are stripped back and have slower processors.

Yes you will need smart switch for the s6 and if you look in language and input settings you may find options for keyboard layouts. If not, you can download Swiftkey of Swype which has the option built in.
