About SIM cards
BlackBerry 10 devices use either micro SIM cards or nano SIM cards. You might need to contact your service provider to
get the appropriate SIM card for your device.
Using your BlackBerry ID to switch devices
When you switch to a new BlackBerry device, during setup, you are prompted to enter your BlackBerry ID username and
password. It's important to sign in using the same BlackBerry ID that you used on your previous device, because many of
your apps and settings are associated with your BlackBerry ID.
For example, when you use your existing BlackBerry ID on your new device, you can reinstall apps that you downloaded on
your previous device from the BlackBerry World storefront, if a version of that app exists for your new device.
Find your BlackBerry ID on your old device
If you created a BlackBerry ID on a previous BlackBerry device, it's important to sign in using your existing BlackBerry ID
on your new device, because many of your apps and settings are associated with it.
1. On the home screen of your previous device, click Options or Settings.
2. Depending on your device, do one of the following:
• Click Third Party Applications > BlackBerry ID.
• Click Device > BlackBerry ID.
• Click or tap BlackBerry ID.
