    I like your appearance. You look like a professional who captured my trust right off the bat You speak clearly and move around slowly so it is easy.
    to follow your moves.your office setting is A+.
    I am (I’m sure) old enough to be your grandmother. I have never had any formal tech education in computers or phones . I bought my first computer in 1996 and taught myself to operate it with a lot of reading and bothering friends who did know what they were doing.
    I tell you all of this to let you know your instruction was so clear that I was able to clean my phone completely, backup my iCloud, delete my phone from the iCloud remove the SIM card and sell it for a profit. Thank you very much.

    Well done! Very helpful. You now have a new subscriber and a big thank you!👍👍 that last step about going to iCloud… A lot of people missed that step. I’m one of them, LOL! So, I have several older iPads and IMACs can I see it listed under devices that I am currently using. Also several older iPhones that I have sold. So, I guess you would recommend that I go into iCloud online and I will be able to delete all of those from there, correct? Thank you again. Looking forward to checking out more of your videos.

    • @TechSteve
      @TechSteve  Před 4 lety

      The SIM card normally doesn’t store much data anymore because it’s limited to file size. It use to be good for contacts but not so much anymore. To answer your question it’s better to remove and destroy if you don’t need any more

    • @tahant00
      @tahant00 Před 4 lety

      Tech Steve I had the salesman remove the SIM card at the store when I traded the phone. But I lost the card somewhere between the store and home. I’m worried someone will get whatever information is left on the card.

On the iPhone 6 I only factory reset it and it shows me the Hello option. My question is will the person that is gonna get the phone have an option called “ login as ( my name)” and will they get permission to it if it shows it? Oh and one more question, if I’m gonna go on my pc and sign out of the iCloud account will something happen to my new iPhone? Cause I don’t wanna lose data

      If you have setup your new phone already then just factory reset your old phone and program it for him. Besure you login into iCloud.com and remove the device from your list.
