Since this is an iPhone, a full restore might not go well. You can use iTunes to put back any pictures, music, ringtones, books, and other content, but I'd re-download all your apps. I could easily be wrong about this, so you may want to wait until someone else chimes in. You could also call Apple's regular tech support number and ask them. While I doubt your phone will have Apple Care, you can explain that you bought it used and are just trying to set it up, and could the tech please answer one quick question. Being nice to them and stating your question first normally works well. For instance, "I know I don't have Apple Care on this phone, but I'm just trying to set it up for the first time and I wondered if I could restore my iPod backup to it without any problems." Apple Support is generally really great, and I've even had techs run remote diagnostics or spend twenty minutes with me, despite my lack of Apple Care. > I remembered to quickly set up the WIFI so the phone talk to my home network > in case I was bombarded by ads coming through cellular data but am not very > clear about which services use it and those which use mobile network.

Regular text messages are not data, and you'll have to check with your provider to see how many of those you are allowed. > How can I be sure apps only use WIFI?

Most apps also have settings where you can set the cellular behavior, such as only refreshing on wifi or only downloading podcasts over wifi. > I couldn't get the assistant to transfer my contacts from my old Nokia 662 > SIM to the new one, equipment not available, Is the only way to do this > manually one by one? I think so, yes. Nokia might have a tool to export everything, but I'm not familiar with that or with the model of phone you're using. > Well, that will do for starters!
