Told by whom?
Allan
Thanks for your imput Allan
told by AT&T when i traded in.
But also, unless I've misunderstood what apple states below, the photos on my old iphone should have automatically been sent to icloud, and added to my macbook air.
"iCloud is Apple’s service that stores your music, photos, apps, contacts, calendars, and more, and wirelessly pushes them to all your iOS devices and computers. iCloud integrates seamlessly with your apps, so everything happens automatically."
In order for iCloud to do that you must setup iCloud and tell it what is to be synced. Did you do that?

joseyjoanne, have you made a backup of your old iPhone, when you synced it with iTunes, or a backup to iCloud? Then you could restore your new phone from the backup.

This quote is slightly misleading and does not appear this way on Apple's pages any longer. iCloud can be a short term storage for photos, if you set up Photo Stream, but it is intended for sharing photos between devices, not as a long term storage.
I want my photos back
