Your nephew needs to follow the steps at What to do before you sell, give away, or trade in your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support on the phone he gave you. Then it will be prepared, erased and ready for you to set it up for yourself.

Hi there,


Thank you so much for your response!


Unfortunately, my nephew doesn't live in the US so he can't physically do anything on the phone. I can with his instructions. The old phone that he gave me does not have a sim card. We've been trying to figure out how to do this with him remotely. Just want to be able to set up so my elderly mom can connect to internet and facetime him and the other family members not in the US. He won't be back for a long time.
