New phone (from AT&T) and cellular usage out-of-the-box

[Schtibbie]

This is *probably* answered somewhere but I could not find it by keywords. I got a new iPhone 6 to upgrade from my 2-year-old 5, via AT&T. Ordered it about a month ago and it finally shipped late last week and arrived last night. Shrink wrapped, brand new. Serial # indicates it was made just a couple weeks ago (via that lookup site I found somewhere). I restored my icloud backup before I checked this, but... In Settings->Cellular, it had (right after the restore and upon my first "dorking around" with the phone) about 5 hours of "Call Time" in both current period and lifetime. Why wasn't that zero? Is that from factory testing, an artifact of my restore, or what?

Because you restored from your iCloud backup. All that information is transferred over to the new device.

As above mentioned, it comes from your back up, since you said you restored from back up.
