Hi,

My old android phone died and I was given an iPhone 8 from my son to use, can I just put the old sim card in or do I have to do anything?

Sorry to be a pain but I am elderly and not that tech knowledgeable.

The iPhone 8 should work OK with the SIM you have.

This is not O2 and we are all customers here similar to yourself and cannot answer account type queries.

You'll need to call O2 to add iData to your account to use all iPhone features.

Once you have requested the iData bolton, you need to reset the network settings.
