Erase all content an settings

[Sek87]

I did a "erase content and settings" on my iphone 4 without a sim card in the it, so I pressed ok for the reset and it did its thing, with the apple logo and progress bar. It disnt take that long, i left it alone for 15-30min and came back and it was done. So it restarted the phone and it came to that "set-up iPhone" screen where you choose your language and wifi and other stuff BUT because I didn't have a sim card in it I couldn't actually get past the set up, so I couldn't go into the phone to actually see if everything was erased. But as a side note, before I did the reset, I was using the phone without a sim card perfectly, it had all my texts, contacts, pictures & music. But after I reset it, it wouldn't let me use it without a sim card, does that mean everything was erased? I just want to know whether or not my content was erased because I sold my phone and shipped it off and I really don't want there to be any content on it. I was in a hurry and couldn't test it out

Yes doing this totally wipes the phone back to factory settings.

Ok so the settings are wiped but is the content like my contacts, pictures, notes, calendar & messages all wiped too? It might be a stupid question but I just want to be sure cause I couldn't actually go back into the phone to check without a sim card in it and I didn't want to put my sim back in.
