Re: Programme to download info from iphone?

[Ronda Brown]

Hi Denise,

Jane's advice is correct. A SIM card (Subscriber Identity Module). 
The SIM holds personal identity information, phone number.
Basically all the SIM does is carry your account information.

The iPhone 3G & 3GS use SIM card & iPhone 4 uses a Micro-SIM card.

SIM cards are used with carriers that operate on the Global System for Mobile 
Communication (GSM)

Re: Programme to download info from iphone?

Hi Denise

I have an iPhone 3G which is unlocked (originally locked to Optus) into which i 
put a UK sim when travelling to the UK. All contacts apps etc remain on the 
iPhone and are not connected with the sim card.
Your ihone backs up to iTines each time you sync with iTunes so all 
setting/contacts/music etc remains intact.

I have PhoneView which i have used to retrieve sms text message from my iPhone 
but it is not necessary to use it when swapping sim cards.

Unless I am missing something in your message, i don't think the US sim card 
will be any different to using a UK sim card in an Australian un-locked iPhone.

Have a good trip.

Jane
