[Magdalen] iPhone 5 update to ios8 info?

[Jay Weigel]

Go to T-Mobile first, I guess. They'll probably try to talk you into
updating, though. And hopefully you don't lose data. Once you get this
sorted out, try my suggestion and plug your phone into your computer every
week or two to transfer pics, data or whatever you want to save to Dropbox.
