Install the SIM card
If you were given a SIM card to install, install it before setting up iPhone.
Important: A Nano-SIM card is required to use cellular services when connecting to
GSM networks and some CDMA networks. An iPhone thatʼs been activated on a CDMA
wireless network can also use a Nano-SIM card for connecting to a GSM network,
primarily for international roaming. Your iPhone is subject to your wireless service
providerʼs policies, which might include restrictions on switching service providers and
roaming, even after the conclusion of any required minimum service contract. Contact
your wireless service provider for more details. Availability of cellular capabilities
depends on the wireless network, your iPhone model, and your location.
Eject the SIM card tray. Insert a paper clip or the SIM eject tool into the small hole of
the SIM card tray on the right side of iPhone, then press firmly to eject and remove the
tray. Place the SIM card in the tray—the angled corner determines the correct orientation
—then insert the SIM card tray back into iPhone.
Set a SIM PIN. To protect your SIM card from others using it for phone calls or cellular
data, you can use a SIM PIN. With a SIM PIN, every time you restart your device or
remove the SIM card, your SIM card locks and you see “Locked SIM” in the status bar. To
create one, go to Settings > Phone.

iPhone in the enterprise
To use iPhone with your work accounts, you need to know the settings your organization
requires. If you received your iPhone from your organization, the settings and apps you
need might already be installed. If youʼre using your own iPhone, your system
administrator may provide you with settings to enter, or have you connect to a mobile
device management server that installs the required settings and apps for you.
You may be asked to install a configuration profile, which configures iPhone for you, and
may define some settings that you canʼt change. For example, your organization might
turn on Auto-Lock and require you to set a passcode to protect the information in the
accounts you access. You can see your profiles in Settings > General > Profiles & Device
Management. When you delete a profile, the settings and accounts, and everything else
associated with the profile, are also removed.
If your organization wants you to have certain apps, it might provide you with redemption
codes to use in the App Store. When you download an app using a redemption code, you
own the app, even though your organization purchased it for you. Your organization can
also purchase App Store app licenses that the organization retains but assigns to you for
a period of time. An app you receive this way is removed if the organization assigns it to
someone else.
Your organization might also develop custom apps that arenʼt in the App Store. You
install them from a webpage, or you may receive a notification from your organization
asking you to install them wirelessly. These apps belong to your organization, and they
may be removed or stop working if you delete a configuration profile.
If you have questions about the settings, apps, or other requirements for using iPhone in
your enterprise environment, contact the system administrator at your organization. For
general information about using iPhone in business, go to the .Business website
Sync and backup
Manage content on your iOS devices
You can transfer information and files between iPhone and your other iOS devices and
Mac computers, using either iCloud or iTunes.

more. It all gets pushed wirelessly to your other iOS devices and computers, keeping
everything up to date. See .
iTunes syncs music, videos, photos, and more between your computer and iPhone.
Changes you make on one device are copied to the other when you sync. You can
also use iTunes to sync files and documents. See .

devices, and use iTunes to sync music from your computer to iPhone.
You can also manually manage content from iTunes in the Summary pane. To add songs
and videos, choose a song, video, or playlist from your iTunes library, then drag it to
iPhone in the iTunes sidebar. This is useful if your iTunes library contains more items than
