Giving old iphone to my wife

    All,

    Quick query.
    I am getting an iphone upgrade from 02 (when phones are back in stock).
    I currently have a 3GS. My wife is also with 02 and has a smartphone plan. When I get my new iphone can she use my old one and just pop in her current sim.

    Do I need to adjust any settings on Iphone? Can we backup both phones on the same itunes account as I will be setting up the new phone by using a backup of the current one.

    Thanks

    As both are with O2 no need to request unlock code to use it, so swapping SIMs from her existing phone to the 3Gs will work.

    But I would recommend you request the unlock code as soon as you get it so it will be unlock for ever in case you want to move provider after contract is up.

    No I had to get mine unlocked for some reason both sims with O2, iTunes wouldn't restore the image without it being unlocked for some reason. Does no harm at any rate for traveling etc.
