[QUOTE="vansmith, post: 1614555, member: 71075"] I'm not familiar with U.S. carriers but according to their website, they do indeed have SIM cards (see [URL="http://www.verizonwireless.com/support/faqs/VZAccess/4g_sim_card.html"]here[/URL]). But, as chscag pointed out (and after some research), Verizon is indeed a CDMA carrier (though they apparently own some smaller GSM carriers). Apparently, the SIM cards are only used for 4G devices which might explain why the iP5 and 5s have SIM cards. I guess that disrupts my understanding that CDMA was entirely SIM-less. Anyway, according to Apple, iCloud backups include iMessages, SMS and MMS (see [URL="http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12519?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US"]here[/URL]). According to that, you're okay if you backup to iCloud. If you can though, you might want to set up the new phone first if you can just in case. [/QUOTE]
