Mary, this is not a big deals, your carrier will give you a sim for free if you ask nicely or just reuse one if you have one handy. It’s not needed to have valid service on the sim just that something’s in the slot. > On Jul 24, 2016, at 9:56 PM, Mary Otten wrote: > > I recall seeing somewher

There’s warm and then there’s warm.:) So what I’d say is if you can hold your hand on the adapter for example and not pull away you’re probably fine. Apple adapters, at least the one’s I’ve owned tend to be warm. Same with the laptop it should warm but not get to a point that I’d call very h

This only works if you don’t need to do the first time setup. If it’s a blank iPhone it needs a sim to setup the first time and then it can be used with out the SIM until it’s reset again. > On Jul 25, 2016, at 8:06 AM, Christopher-Mark Gilland > wrote: > > Not true. I've used an IPhone wi

Chris, cutting SIM cards is standard practice. They make specific cutters and tools that stores use to do this although you can do it yourself with a good cutting tool. Many times you’re directed to do so by the carrier, in other cases they give them away for free. T-Mobile is one that if you
