How do I copy contacts from my old sim onto my Iphone 3G S

u cant transfer it directly but u can transfer them to outlook and when u connect ur iphone to the pc u can choose to sync the contacts with outlook.

good luck

Unfortunately, the iPhone does not work with contacts saved on your SIM. You need to use the Pam Desktop to move your old contacts to your PC. Then, use iTunes to sync back your Windows Contacts with your new iPhone. If you don't want to use iTunes, you can use a more direct way to copy iPhone contacts directly to the iPhone.

Hi there,
This type of errors occur when you jailbreak your set, if you want to copy your contacts from the sim try with another Sim in your phone, if it gives error with all Sims, then you can copy your contacts in the Outlook and then synchronize your contacts with iPhone,
To copy your contacts to outlook, take any nokia phone capable of connecting with usb to computer and nokia pc suite, make your contacts syncronize with outlook firstly from nokia,
when you got your contacts in outlook , connect your iphone 3g with computer, and itunes will show you your set, then go to info and sync contacts with outlook, click on apply and then sync, all of your contacts will be sync and you will see the contacts in iphone,
If you require more assistance regarding this, feel free to reply to this post

Hi,

Have you tried putting your old sim into another phone then transferring the contacts to the old phone, then putting your new sim in the old phone and copying the contacts onto the sim, then put your new sim (with copied contacts on) into your iphone and import contacts.

sorry if this seems a little confusing!

Hope it helps!!

Hi,

As long as your contacts are saved to your sim then

1- go to settings
2- select mail, contact & calendars
3 - scroll down to import sim contacts

and voila! your contacts will get transferred over :)

Hope this helps!

im sorry it isn't possible unless you can find a way to save your contact onto your AT&T account. you could figure out the rest.
i'm not 100% sure this will work so no guarentees.

You can manually add your contacts by enetering your sim card, by going to Setting, phone, SIM applications, and enter the phone book...
There is no command to copy the contacts directly to your SIM.
Use Microsoft Outlook to copy your contacts to the pc... keeping it safe, backed up

Make sure you have a sim card on your iPhone then just go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars then scroll down until you see the option Import Sim Contacts and click on it to copy all your contacts to your iPhone

Turn off the iPhone before inserting the sim, insert sim, turn on, import contacts. If you put the sim in the phone without restarting it for some reason it doesn't get all the contacts sometimes.

write them down and then save them on your sim from your old phone
