Congratulations on your new iPhone! Here's a step-by-step guide to help you unlock and set up your new iPhone:

Step 1: Turn on your iPhone

  1. Locate the SIM tray on the right side of your iPhone. Insert the SIM card provided by your carrier or a new SIM card if you're switching carriers.
  2. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears on the screen.

Step 2: Follow the Setup Assistant

Step 3: Activate your iPhone
