Transferring data to another phone

Anonymous
Not applicable

Hi. I want to transfer all my data from an i-phone 4 to an i-phone 5C. Is this just a straight forward transfer of the sim card into the 5C? Is it compatible because I dont want to lose any data.

No, hardly anything is stored on the sim at all.
You need to backup your iPhone 4 to iCloud and then reinstall that backup onto your 5c.
It will ask when you set up the 5c if you want to set up as new or restore from backup, so choose the restore option and sign in to iCloud.
Wait whilst it completes then you'll need a sim swap at an o2 shop to change from a micro to a nano sim.
They will do that for free for you too.
