Change iCloud User/Password account on iPhone 4
Change iCloud User/Password account on iPhone 4
Through Verizon, I transferred my iPhone 4 to another family member. I purchased an iPhone 4s from Verizon. The iPhone 4 now (as it did before) has my iPhone 4s iCloud Apple ID and Password. Other family member also has an (independent) Apple ID and Password.
How do I change the iPhone 4 iCloud ID/Password to other family member, the current owner?
As I have read a lot of unhelpful info on this subject, I want to be clear that I an talking about 2 different Apple iPhones (4 and 4s) which need separate and independent iCloud accounts. Any iCloud activity (including billing) will be unique to each iPhone. I also have other iDevices which correctly access my iCloud account.

>>Have you tried just entering the new user's iCloud info on the 4?
Apple ID inaccessible from settings...iCloud Information - greyed out.
Also!! deleting iPhone 4 iCloud account deletes all *my* [iPhone 4s etc.] data from Cloud
>>I suggest wiping the 4 and starting over to make sure all of your data is gone.

One should be able to switch Apple Id's on any phone, just by entering the information. Not sure why it would be greyed-out. Wiping the phone removes ALL data, including Words with Friends.
