I thought it was gonna be something complicated, like formats and such.

Answer 11

A sim card is what is used to make calls and send texts, and is given by your phone service. An SD Card is a removable storage drive.

Answer 12

oh so the SD card has all my phone numbers, photos, etc ?

Answer 13

It should have a copy, yes, if you chose to copy them.

Answer 14

so a phone has 2 SD cards? one is the normal and another a copy?

Answer 15

It has the internal one for applications and stuff. The second would be the expandable storage card, which is removable, while the first isn't.

Answer 16

so the second one has my phone number and photos?

Answer 17

It might, or it might not, it depends on your phone settings.

Answer 18

If you connect your phone to your computer, you can get the files from it

Answer 19

oh so if i take out the SD card the photos and numbers will still be on my phone and on the SD card?

Answer 20

On the phone, most definitely. On the SD, maybe. Like I said, it depends on the settings.

Answer 21

how do i know the settings lol?

Answer 22

impossible :p

Answer 23

It wouldn't hurt to check the SD card.

Answer 24

i gotta brb for a couple mins, but if someone changes their phone number but i still have there old number is it possible to get their new number?

Answer 25

also why do people change phone numbers?

Answer 26

Various reasons, to hide from people, too lazy to keep your old one. And no, I don't think you can use their old number to get their new one.

Answer 27

Okay thanks

Answer 28

Ok let me explain what a sim card actually is.

A SIM card will not contain your number's, however changing phones, if you backed your contacts list up to the cloud, will still be there

A SIM card is basically a number stored on a chip, that identifies your phone, and gives you permission to use a certain carriers network. This number can of course be revoked at any time.

Answer 29

@Ultrilliam what do you mean revoked?

Answer 30

Incase you didn't pay your bill or something, the access that number has could be revoked

Answer 31

would I still be able to see the phone numbers? I had

Answer 32

.

Answer 33

ultrill

Answer 34

Only if you synced it with the cloud

Answer 35

ok, also I think I forgot the password for my phone is there another way to unlock it?

Answer 36

my broken phone*

Answer 37

Not really no, not without wiping the phone, or using USB debugging and some coding to reset it

Answer 38

How hard is it to code and debug it?

Answer 39

Well considering you would need to find a hole in androids security, that depends on the last time you updated your phone

Answer 40

It's an Iphone 6 plus.

Answer 41

probably very old update meaning that my iphone 6 hasn't had an update in the past 1-2 years.

Answer 42

so its not possible to go to the apple store and ask them to unlock it?

Answer 43

Nope, unfortunately... And I don't know if and apple security holes to remove passwords (even though their OS is like swiss cheese)

@dude you have any ideas?

Answer 44

lol

Answer 45

You can hard reset it, do you have access to an apple computer or any computer with iTunes?

Answer 46

yea

Answer 47

does a hard reset remove anything?

Answer 48

Yes it will, have you backed your phone up using iCloud?

Answer 49

no

Answer 50

and if I did i wouldn't know how to access it.

Answer 51

In other words, it's exactly how I described it. ._.

Answer 52

ill try and see if i can unlock my phone with a passcode and if not ill try the SD card.

Answer 53

hopefully all my phone numbers are on the SD card and have the names cause i cant memorize phone numbers of whose who's lol

Answer 54

You can unlock the phone without the password easy, but it will erase everything on it.

Answer 55

rip

Answer 56

will the SD card have the phone number names?

Answer 57

Like I said yesterday, it might, it might not. It depends if you chose to back them up to the SD card. Just go look.

Answer 58

Okay

Answer 75

There are only 10,000 possible combinations. You got this. 👍

Also, for in the future, making all of your passwords the exact same thing would be easier, like a master password. That is what I do.
