Mary,
In that braille manual, Getting Started with the iPhone and IOS8
Step by Step Instructions, installing that SIM card is very early
in the process. All that happened before that was that VoiceOver
was turned on. These were the instructions in that braille
manual by Anna Dresner about that SIM card.
"If your phone doesn't have a SIM card, you'll now be told
to insert one and press OK. The phone will do nothing else until
you do this. Many phones come with SIM cards preinstalled, but
if yours doesn't, you can insert one by locating a small hole on
the right side of the iPhone and using a small tool that comes in
the iPhone box to remove the SIM card frame. Insert the tool and
press in firmly. A button will release a frame that will hold
your SIM card. The tool has a projection on one side that you
can use to help remove the frame. Lay the SIM card in the frame;
It only fits one way. Then insert it into your phone, and
restart the setup process.
Now you're on a screen where you select the phone's primary
language."
I don't think you'll have to program your SIM card; someone
probably already did that before he sold the card.

Subject: Re: Setting up a new iPhone from scratch
I was kind of hoping that I would be able to take the phone out
of the box, and connect it to my Mac, where the backup of my old
phone is encrypted. Then I can restore from that, and then fool
with upgrading the Sim card. Or I should say programming the Sim
card. Or whatever you call it. The store has always done it in
the past, but I stayed on the same carrier then.

I forgot about that. I've always started by programing the phone
first. I don't know if that varies from carier to carier though.

No, I am changing carriers, and I had to turn in the phone as
part of the
deal moving to the new carrier. But I will have the the old
phone until I
get the new phone up and running of course.

Are you planning to keep the old phone active?

I got the word from T-Mobile that my new iPhone should be here
today. Of
course I still have my old one. The question I have is how to
get from
the
old one to the new one, including installation and activation of
the Sim
card, and specifically when that happens. I'm not expecting
anybody to
tell
me how to activate a Sim card, as that would be done with the
T-Mobile
website. But when do you do that? Is that the first thing you do
before
you
turn on the iPhone? Or do you go through the entire restoration
from
iTunes,
and then once the phone has everything in it, you activate the
Sim card?
