Welcome to How to Liveable this is my YouTube channel where I do tutorials on whatever happen
-
to feel like doing at a given time and today I received a new Iphone 5S and I am about
-
to get it set up on Virgin Mobile because Virgin Mobile's service is super duper cheap
-
which is great because you can save some money.
-
So I'm going to walk through how to go about doing that you are going to receive a number
-
of different things in your box when you get your phone obviously the phone box which is
-
already unboxed which we don't need to see that because that's really boring but then
-
you are also going to get this little card here it says do not discard so you want to
-
probably follow those instructions and not discard it because inside you get this little
-
doodad which is I guess kind of a simcard that has to go on the phone so I've never
-
inserted one of those before but we are going to do that in a little bit.
-
So let's get started the first thing you can do is you can actually peel off the back of
-
this sticker on your packaging and it will walk you through exactly what you have to
-
do but you can also just go to the Virgin site and start going through the information
-
there so really all you need is your serial number from the back of the box and I'm going
-
to put that into that computer now.
-
One thing that you are going to want to note with the Iphone is that you want to put in
-
the IMEI/MEID number as oppose to the serial number otherwise it won't work but that's
-
just right on the back of the box as well and then you are going to put in the ICCID
-
and that is card number for your simcard here which is should be on the back or could be
-
on your box.
-
One thing to note with the ICCID that's on the back of this card it's the number that's
-
right below your barcode up there I thought perhaps it was the bottom set of numbers but
-
it actually is that first long among the numbers that you see then you go through and put in
-
your customer ID and all that good stuff.
-
Okay so I was able to get my phone set up on Virgin however I still need to insert my
-
simcard into the phone and theoretically there should be a tool to do that however it doesn't
-
look like they provided me one so I was going to use a push pin like this but the internet
-
told me that that's a bad idea so I'm going to try and use a paper clip which they recommend
-
probably the best thing to do is also power down the Iphone just to be sure.
-
It seems to be releasing it I'm going to go back to my paper clip actually paper clip
-
seems to work best, you use the paper clip folks then you just pull this out and you've
-
got your little card holder here okay and as you can see I've popped my simcard out
-
of its original card holder in here put it in the carrier and I'll just push this in
-
here and it's now straight in the place which is really, really handy dandy and let's try
-
turning this bad boy on and see if it doesn't explode.
-
So that is basically it all you have to do is get that simcard in there and then you
-
can go through setting up your I phone manually and that's how you switch over to Virgin,
-
one thing you probably want to do after you switch over is Virgin automatically gives
-
you a new phone number and on their website you can go and transfer your old number from
-
your old carrier to Virgin which makes life a heck of a lot easier so that's basically
-
it thanks for watching and hit subscribe if you like this.
