Open the Safari app, that's your web browser.

Yes, an iphone is like a computer/phone.

Yes, a smartphone is a computer with a data plan. When I use my phone at home, I have Wi-FI turned on, and the data plan turned off. You may want to

skim your service manual, and start enjoying your gift.

Set it up to connect to wifi when you're home automatically. Hit the Safari icon and get on the internet and go to QVC. You can set up a bookmark to make it easier

I am an Android gal who bought an IPhone when my contract ran out because I got a DEAL on two phones. So there is a learning curve in any case and I was not a happy camper since my Android gets more free apps and operates a bit differently. However having my new phone for about a week I am getting used to it and actually am liking it. Now for the advice.

1. Youtube has videos about using the phone... just search

2. There are books out there that help. I got a magazine in my local Safeway and it shows basics and not so basics. Amazon has oodles of help books.

3. And when all else fails find a12 year old to ask (grandson or two) LOL

Many thanks again gals. I am slowly learning. So much to absorb, especially when you have gotten used to an entirely different phone.

I have one grand-daughter who lives nearby and she came over last night. She has the same exact phone. She upgraded hers the same day I got mine, so she can teach me a lot. Hubby has an Android so it's difficult for him to try to teach me. She transferred my pictures and contacts. Things are coming along. Last night, she and I were e-mailing, texting, sending pictures, etc...... It's great to have people who know what they are doing. I am speechless to see her texting with both thumbs, while looking up at the sky, or holding the phone under a blanket and texting with no errors...... Kids - LOL..........

Easy for them to do.... I wondered if anyone here was posting from their iPhone, so I thought I would ask. I learn a lot here and am glad I asked the question.

Thanks again - I'm sure I'll think of something else.......

I think you will be happy when you get the hang of it. I bought my mom an iPad. She would never use a computer too long without becoming frustrated and giving up. She's doing all kinds of stuff now from the iPad. She loves it.

You cannot access QVC boards using the Q app. That's why you were advised to use Safari or any Internet browser.

Since yuou're new, you can go to an Apple store and get someone to help you/take a class.

If you have an  store near you I highly suggest you go and find out when they have classes. They are free and you will be amazed at what you will learn. You can go as much as you like. If you have problems or questions write them down and they will be happy to answer them for you. By the way they have free classes for all their devices.

I wanted to add it add it does not matter where you bought your device. Some think Apple will not help unless you bought at the Apple store. Not true. They will help you.
