just upgraded

I have just ordered my new iPhone 5c and can't wait for it to come. It is an upgrade from iPhone 4, just had a thought, I'm guessing it will come with a new SIM card but will it still be the same number that I have. This is probably a silly question and it probably will but just checking. Thanks for any help slight_smile

That means the sim swap has started.
Keep rebooting the new phone until you get a signal....

Just to add perform a back up on iTunes or iCloud with your iPhone 4 ,and when your ready use that back up to put all your data on the 5c.

Awesome.

 

 

It can take approx up to 24 hours for the signal to settle.

 

Keep turning it off and on to help the reset.
