To activate and use the new iPhone you need to insert a SIM card into it.
If you switch from an old iPhone to a new one (for example, from 4S to 5S, then you will need to change the size of the SIM card from micro SIM to NANO SIM. To do this, simply call the operator's reference number and contact the consultant and tell me what you want to replace your micro SIM on NANO SIM card, you will be asked to give your passport details and if you need to change your SIM card urgently, then the wealth of a new SIM card within 24 hours costs about 200 rubles, but you can order delivery of a new SIM card for free, then it will be delivered in a couple of days. )
Or you can go to the mobile operator’s salon of your operator (taking your passport with you) and say that you want to change the micro SIM card to a Nano SIM card. But once again I will repeat it only if you switch from the iPhone 4S to 5, 5C, 5S or the sixth iPhone. Since the new iPhones use only Nano SIM cards, because they are smaller and take up less space on the phone.
By the way, I switched from an iPhone 4S to 5S and noticed the changes that I described in the article.
After you get your hands on a nano sim after 15 minutes, a message will come to your number that work will now be done with your number. And you will turn off your old micro sim card so that only nano sim will work. To activate the iPhone and start setting up it must be inserted SIM card

If you want to use this code, click use; if you still want to use another code, then click edit.

The days when a single PC was shared among all the members of a family, or even a larger number of people, are long gone. With the current relative cheapness and diversity of computer equipment, having a home stationary computer, as well as a portable laptop or netbook, is a common thing. Therefore, the possibility is more relevant than ever. fast transfer files from computer to portable device.
You can transfer the files you need from your computer to a laptop in several ways. Using a flash drive, it makes sense to transfer information in cases where the volumes are relatively small - up to 20 gigabytes. However, this method is not fast and requires constant monitoring by the user. Alternatively, you can use a USB drive with a large capacity, but such devices are not cheap. Adherents of the "old traditions" can use as a "mediator" CD / DVD discs. Here it is only extremely inconvenient to transfer information in such a way of multiple rewriting, and there is a chance that each next entry may be unreadable, and accordingly the last one.
In addition to all the above methods of copying information, you can also use a USB 2.0 adapter. You can connect any model of hard drives to this device. Also, this adapter performs many other useful functions.
