RE: New iPhone arrives tomorrow. What's the easiest way to set it up?

2018-12-19 Thread Sieghard Weitzel 
Keith,

When we got our iPhone 8 we took the SIM cards out of our old phones and put 
them in the 8 before we even powered it on. Our old phones were of course on 
WiFi so everything worked just fine.
I would unbox the new phone, turn off your 7, remove the SIM and put it in the 
new phone, then power on the 7 first and enter your PIN so it's ready to go. 
Then turn on the new phone, wait a bit (30 seconds should be plenty) and press 
the side button 3 times to start Voiceover.
Most phones come charged, ours had between 70 and 80%, but one way to make sure 
the phone has enough charge and to power it on is to simply plug in the new 
phone after you inserted the SIM, that will power it on and then 30 seconds or 
so after you plug it in a triple press of the side button should get the thing 
babbling and everything else is explained from there.
One thing, if you do the setup by putting your old phone close to the new one, 
remember that I think if you are trying to scan the barcode it is the old phone 
you do the scanning with, e.g. you hold the old phone's camera over the screen 
of the new phone. I would sort of line it up by holding it very close, then 
raise the phone straight up about 6 inches and it should scan, maybe 8 but you 
certainly don't have to hold it a foot away..
Maybe somebody can confirm this, but I'm almost certain it's the old phone you 
use to scan the new phone, from a logical perspective one could easily think 
you scan the old phone with the new one.

Good luck,
Sieghard

Hi,

My new iPhone X arrives tomorrow.

What’s the easiest way to set it up from my iPhone 7. I’m confused about this 
approach of hlding a new phone close to an existing phone. At what stage do I 
transfer the sim to the new phone – before or after I do the close holding 
thing?

A step by step guide would be most welcome. I think I’ll try setting up from an 
iCloud backup of my iPhone 7, and if that doesn’t work well I’ll reset the 
phone and then do it from an encrypted iTunes backup.

Thanks in advance. Keith

2018-12-19 Thread Carolyn Arnold 
Can you call Customer Support of your carrier. Consumer Cellular would work 
with you and steer you right through the entire set up. If there is something 
about Voice Over they don't know, or at least one guy, he'll look on Apple's 
site and make that work out. 

He's the one that suggested I turn off Raise to Wake to get better life, just a 
guy in Customer Service at Consumer Cellular, when I'd had my phone a couple of 
days. 

Best regards,

Carolyn

The phone will tell you when to hold the old phone close and make sure you hold 
it just above the new one with the back facing camera toward the new one. 
Personally I think it better to wait to exchange the simm.
