Son has just purchased a new iPhone 6 and has passed his iPhone 5 on to his mum. Is the phone unlocked and can she just insert a new P.A.Y.G. sim card to get use of it?
iPhone 5
She can do that if the iPhone is unlocked, or if its locked to a carrier, if she uses a Pay as You go sim from said carrier.
The Sim must be a Nano sim card to fit the iPhone 5.
Also, son should follow this article, and reset the iPhone so Mom can use it without issues.

Thank you for your reply. The phone is locked to a carrier (contract provider uk) but they provide an unlocking service F. O. C. . Just waiting on the email with the unlocking code.
Then it should work. Good luck.
