Why does my new iPhone SIM show my old number?

Sometimes when you’ve changed both service and SIM, your old number may still be shown. Go to Settings > Phone > My Number, tap on your old number and change it to the new one. Then turn off Messages, power down the phone, start it up again, and turn Messages back on. Your SIM should no longer display the old number.

How can I connect to the internet without available Wi–Fi?

If your iPhone or iPad has to be switched to Airplane mode, you’re in a place without Wi–Fi, or your iPad doesn’t have cellular support but an Ethernet connection is available, you can work around this by using Apple’s Lightning to USB adapter ($39, bit.ly/

mfiosusb) and a USB to (RJ45) Ethernet adapter (about $6). Make sure you connect a power source to the Lightning adapter, then connect a normal Ethernet cable to the chain to get your iOS device online.
