Question

Will it work if I put the SIM card from my current phone in another that I have?

Community Answer

It depends on the type of phone and what service provider you are switching to. Some providers require new SIM cards, while others will let you transfer your current one into your new phone.

Question

Calling someone is not working on Siri. What I should do?

Community Answer

Make sure Siri has permission to use your phone. You can do this by going to settings -> Siri -> permissions -> phone and swipe the slider to "on" so that it turns green.
