Pull out the SIM card tray and place the SIM card in the tray as shown. With the tray aligned and the SIM card on top, carefully replace the tray.

The Setup Assistant steps you through the setup process, including connecting to a Wi-Fi network, signing in with or creating a free Apple ID, setting up iCloud, turning on recommended features such as Location Services and Find My iPhone, and activating iPhone with your carrier. You can also restore from an iCloud or iTunes backup during setup. Activation can be done over a Wi-Fi network or, with iPhone 4S or later, over your carrier’s cellular network (not available in all areas). If neither option is available, you need to connect iPhone to your computer running iTunes for activation. Connecting iPhone to your computer You may need to connect iPhone to your computer in order to complete activation. Connecting iPhone to your computer also lets you sync information, music, and other content with iTunes. See Syncing with iTunes on page 16 . Connect iPhone to your computer: Use the Lightning to USB Cable (iPhone 5) or 30-pin to USB Cable (iPhone 4S or earlier) provided with iPhone. Connecting to the Internet iPhone connects to the Internet whenever necessary, using a Wi-Fi connection (if available) or your carrier’s cellular network. For information about connecting to a Wi-Fi network, see Wi-Fi on page 13 0. Note: If a Wi-Fi connection to the Internet isn’t available, some iPhone apps and services may transfer data over your carrier’s cellular network, which may result in additional fees. Contact your carrier for information about your cellular data plan rates. To manage cellular data usage, see Cellular on page 13 5 .
Chapter 2 Getting Started 14 Setting up mail and other accounts iPhone works with iCloud, Microsoft Exchange, and many of the most popular Internet-based mail, contacts, and calendar service providers. If you don’t already have a mail account, you can set up a free iCloud account when you first set up iPhone, or later in Settings > iCloud. See iCloud on page 15. Set up an iCloud account: Go to Settings > iCloud. Set up some other account: Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars. You can add contacts using an LDAP or CardDAV account, if your company or organization supports it. See Adding contacts on page 101 . You can add calendars using a CalDAV calendar account, and you can subscribe to iCalendar (.ics) calendars or import them from Mail. See Working with multiple calendars on page 68. Apple ID An Apple ID is the user name for a free account that lets you access Apple services, such as the iTunes Store, the App Store, and iCloud. You need only one Apple ID for everything you do with Apple. There may be charges for services and products that you use, purchase, or rent. If you have an Apple ID, use it when you first set up iPhone, and whenever you need to sign in to use an Apple service. If you don’t already have an Apple ID, you can create one whenever you’re asked to sign in. For more information, see support.apple.com/kb/he37 . Managing content on your iOS devices You can transfer information and files between your iOS devices and computers using either iCloud or iTunes. •iCloud stores content such as music, photos, calendars, contacts, documents, and more, and wirelessly pushes it to your other iOS devices and computers, keeping everything up to date. See iCloud below. •iTunes syncs music, video, 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 copy a file to iPhone for use with an app, or to copy a document you’ve created on iPhone to your computer. See Syncing with iTunes on page 16. You can use iCloud or iTunes, or both, depending on your needs. For example, you can use iCloud Photo Stream to automatically get photos you take on iPhone to your other devices, and use iTunes to sync photo albums from your computer to iPhone. Important: Don’t sync items in the Info pane of iTunes (such as contacts, calendars, and notes) and also use iCloud to keep that information up to date on your devices. Otherwise, duplicated data may result.
