How to set up an iPhone 6 on Vodafone as moving from an iPhone 5 on Three?

[Omegalomaniac]

Hi. I've always had iPhones on Three but am moving to Vodafone with an iPhone 6.

I've normally done a back up on the old phone and then set the new phone up using a restore. However, is it the same process when you move to a new carrier as well as a new phone?

The iPhone 6 is due on Friday so any help appreciated.

I believe it's all the same. Just create a backup and restore to your new iPhone.

I prefer to do a clean install myself as it prevents any issues a backup may cause. You can always just copy over the old info manually or just back it up to the cloud.

Thanks. I might try that instead - I wasn't sure if any Three (3) carrier settings are part of the backup and I thought it might cause a problem if trying to then put the back-up onto a Vodafone device?

Hi Omegalomaniac,

This won’t be an issue from moving providers.

You’ll still be able to restore you’re new phone, as long as a backup has been done.

Thanks,
