Hi Tracy,
It probably is preinstalled. Just in case, if it is not, here is how it
goes
in:
Take the little wire tool and feel along the right side of the phone
(opposite from the volume buttons).
You will feel the SIM tray and beneath it is a tiny hole. Put the wire
tool
in it and push firmly, this will pop the SIM tray out.
Make sure you keep the touch screen facing you and that you don't turn the
SIM tray upside down, it is smooth on top and has a ridge underneath.
Your Nano SIM is tiny, but if you have good feeling in your fingers, you
can
feel that one corner of the SIM card is cut off a bit.
The SIM Card goes into the tray with that corner facing out and up
(towards
the top of the phone).
The SIM tray should slide in easily and the last little bit requires a
slight push to lock it into place, if you put the SIM in the wrong way I
don't think it will go in.
Regards,
Sieghard

Hi all, thanks for the replies.
Lol, first of all, I'm soooooooooo glad to hear about the speaker issue
not
existing in the 5s. It is driving me nuts in my 4s.
Verizon may have sim cards now, because of the 4g/lte. I saw it mentioned
in my shipping details. Hopefully, it is pre-installed.
The instructions I found on the web say I need to call a number to
activate
4g/lte on my account.
We'll see, I'm sure it'll all be easy once started.
Thanks again,
Traci

Hi Tracy,
My 5S finally showed up this morning after I found out yesterday that the
UPS delivery guy delivered it to the store here in my town where they
sell
Apple product. Unfortunately I didn't realize this until shortly before 6
PM
when they were already closed so he couldn't get it back from them until
this morning. Oh well, a bit more anticipation built-up never hurt
anybody.
Anyhow, the setup process is about as simple and easy as it can get and
Apple's "It just works" definitely applies here.
I took the phone out of the box and even before I turned it on put my new
Nano SIM into the phone. Tracy, I am in Canada and while I know AT&T and
T-Mobil use SIM cards, I don't think Verizon does as they are still a
CDMA
carrier. I have to leave it somebody else to confirm his and to explain
how
your phone number is activated, but I assume it might not be that
different
as with a SIM where you have to do it by signing in on the Verizon
website.
After I inserted my SIM I plugged in the Lightning cable since while a
new
phone usually has a good amount of charge, I just wanted to make sure it
had
power and also because I know plugging in the cable turns the phone on.
After a little bit the phone vibrated and I knew it was at that point on.
Another advantage when Voiceover is not on yet is that if you plug the
phone
in it will vibrate once when it comes on.
I waited a maybe 10 more seconds to make sure it was ready, then I
pressed
the home key 3 times and Voiceover came on.
I selected English from the list of languages, then my location/country
and
so on.
The setup process is very straight forward, you can join your WiFi right
there, you are asked to sign in with your Apple Id and then you can
enable
iCloud, iMessage and Facetime, Find my iPhone, SIRI and all that.
The first time I was asked to enter text, I think it was for my WiFi, I
right away turned the rotor to typing mode and selected touch typing
since
touch typing is not enabled by default.
It probably took me 6 or 8 minutes to go through the entire setup
process.
You are also asked I think at the end if you want to set up as a new
phone
or restore from a backup. I chose new phone here, but I am now going to
restore from my encrypted iTunes backup.
Once the setup process was done I had a notification right away that a
newer
version of iOS was available. I went into Settings and installed the iOS
7.02 update.
While it was doing the iOS 7 update I signed into my mobile carrier's
website to activate my new Nano SIM which I had already received a few
days
ago.
I use Koodo here in Canada which is a MVNO owned by Telus.
I clicked on "Mobile Phones" and then on "Change Phone".
From here I had 2 radio buttons to choose from, one was "Upgrade my
Phone"
and one was "New SIM Card in my current phone". I chose the first,
clicked
next and was now asked to enter the SIM Card Number. I had already
written
that down so I just copied it and pasted it, clicked next, confirmed one
more time and it was done.
At that point the update was also done and when my phone came back on
Voiceover was talking and my new SIM worked.
I now first went into Voiceover settings and downloaded the Enhanced
Quality
voice for US English, then the Australien one and then I added German and
downloaded the high quality german voice.
Now after I send this I will restore from my encrypted iTunes backup. At
first I thought I start over, but I already had gotten rid of as many
apps
as I could by uninstalling those I don't use a lot. I also unsynced all
my
music and photos because I wanted a smaller backup and quicker restore
process. This way I get back the important apps, my email accounts will
be
restored as will be my Favorites in the Phone app and my text messages.
I use Office 365 which is hosted Exchange from Microsoft for my business
email and Outlook.com for my personal accounts so as soon as these
accounts
will be restored all my email and contacts will sync to my phone again
and
there is nothing I will have to do here to get all of that back.
OK, good luck with your 5S, it's unbelieveable fast and everything seems
to
happen instantly.
Oh, you are also asked to set up Touch ID during the initial setup. You
can
choose to do so later, but I did it and I used my right thumb. It asked
me
about 10 or maybe more to put my thumb on the sensor, it's a good idea to
rotate it slightly and put different areas, just the tip, a bit further
back
etc. It will tell you when it took enough readings and that too seems to
work extremely well and it's super fast.
Lastly, I just received a call and I picked it up with a 2-finger double
tap. I put the phone to my ear and to my delight I had no issues like I
did
on my 4S with the call going to speakerphone or switching back and forth.
So
far I couldn't be more pleased with this phone.
Regards,
Sieghar

Hi all,
I'm excited to announce my iPhone 5s should be arriving today. This is
my
first 4g/lte device.
Does the sym card come already installed?
Was the set up process fairly straight forward?
I read the directions found here:
http://businessportals.verizonwireless.com/support/how_to_use/iphone-5-upgra
de.html
and they look pretty easy.
Any tips to go along with those instructions?
:) This isn't my first set up, but like I said, my first 4g/lte device.
Fingers crossed, I'm mighty excited! Off to back up my device and back
up
my Mac for good measure. ;)
Traci
