New phone set up completely - contacts transferred, apps installed, logged into everything, and shown how to use it. You'll leave with a working phone you're confident using.
### New Phone Sitting In The Box
You upgraded your phone but **you're scared to turn it on**. The thought of transferring everything, remembering all those passwords, working out how the new one's different...
So it's **stayed in the box** for two weeks while you keep using the old one with the **cracked screen and dying battery**.
Or worse - you tried to set it up yourself, got halfway through, and now it's sort of working but **you can't get your WhatsApp messages** and half your photos are missing.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** The transfer process is much easier than it used to be - as long as you know your Apple ID or Google password. That's the key to everything.

Good to Know
> 👵 **Setting up for elderly parents?** Very common request. I'll take extra time explaining, set up only essential apps, make text size bigger, show them multiple times how to do key tasks. **Keep your old phone?** Don't factory reset it until you're 100% sure everything's transferred. Keep it as backup for a week or so, then wipe it. **Complex apps?** Banking apps, NHS app, government ID stuff - they often need extra security steps. I'll work through those with you so they're properly set up.
Frequently Asked Questions about Phone setup basic in Crediton
What phones can you help with?
iPhone or Android - I can set up either. The process is slightly different but the end result's the same - a working phone with all your stuff on it.
Will you transfer everything from my old phone?
Photos, contacts, messages - yes. Apps we'll reinstall and log you back in. Some things like WhatsApp history need a bit of faffing but I can usually get it across. I'll explain what's moving and what's not.
What if I can't remember my passwords?
We can reset them if you've got access to your email. For Google/Apple accounts especially, you'll need to know the email address and have access to reset it. I'll walk you through the whole process.
Can you show me how to actually use it?
Absolutely - that's half the point. I'll show you the basics: making calls, texts, taking photos, using WhatsApp, whatever you need to know. Clear explanations, no jargon.
My old phone's completely dead - can you still transfer stuff?
If it's backed up to iCloud or Google, yes - we can pull it from there. If it's not backed up and won't turn on, that makes it trickier. Contacts might be saved to your SIM card though.
