Q: Using unlocked iPhone 6 with foreign SIM overseas.
OK, I got my ATT iPhone 6 unlocked. ATT's instructions are a bit unclear so I talk to Apple and find that this is not just a simple process and I can't find it anywhere plainly written and explained.
Based on what I understood Apple to tell me I need to do the following: (I may have gotten it wrong too!)
1)Back up the phone either here in the USA on iCloud or on a computer I'm traveling with.
2)Sign out of iCloud
3)Put new SIM into phone
4)Restore phone from BU.
5) Sign back into iCloud
I guess because the phone does automatic cloud backups of certain information iCloud has to know that it is you using a new carrier.
Is this all correct and in the correct order of steps? Anything else need to be added?
Has anybody actually done this with a foreign SIM card while traveling?
