It's also a good idea to have a look and see what you've received with your new phone. You'll likely have a cable that will work with your current phone. This will be the cable you use to charge it. You should also have a Quick Switch Adapter as well as a SIM card.

2. You should see a Start button, which will allow you to complete the initial set up.

- Plug one end of your cable into your old phone. Then plug the other end into your new phone. Alternatively, plug your phone into the Quick Switch Adapter and then plug the adapter into your new phone.
- Click ‘Copy' on your old phone and then follow the steps on-screen. You should see a list of data on your new phone and be given the option to either copy all of your data or choose what you want to copy.
