You can use a sim card reader to transfer from sim to sim, this is the easiest method, but rarely do people actually have such a device.

The sim card can only transfer phone numbers, and in some cases, limited SMS history. This excludes email addresses, pictures, ringtones, and games.

Transferring to or from a phone is a different menu path for nearly every model out there...

Nokia - go under names or contacts, scroll down until you see "copy", select copy, it will ask if you want it from the "phone to the sim", yes choose this option, it will ask if you want to "keep original" and that is it , it will copy the numbers onto the sim.

For other model phones, ask a teenager to show you. Most of them are technologically fluent.

You can't do it on a new iPhone. You have to put them on your iTunes. But if your iPhone allows installing third party software (when you have done a so called 'Jailbreak'), you may download a piece of software called iSIM. This will allow you to batch copy all your phone numbers to the iPhone without the need for a PC or Mac. Actually you can import contacts from a SIM Card. I just did so with my iPhone 3GS. Here is the excerpt from the iPhone users guide: "Import contacts from another phone's SIM: In Settings, tap "Mail, Contacts, Calendars," then tap Import SIM Contacts." You must scroll down to find the Import SIM Contacts command. Just pop out the current SIM card and put in another SIM card (use a paper clip to open the holder) and follow the steps. Takes about 30 seconds. Good Luck.

For Nokia: Go to contacts, click options, then click sim numbers, click options, click "mark/unmark" and mark the contacts you want to transfer, then click options again, and click copy to contacts.

There are several devices available that can copy sim cards. You'll have to get them from outside the us, however.

I want to get an iPhone 4 but I'm not sure about the sim card Does it come with a micro sim or normal sim or do i need to buy a sim at the place i got the iPhone 4 at?

The iphone 4 comes with a micro sim. Your normal sim will not work with it. My AT&T dealer says he can transfer data directly from your sim/old phone to your new iphone 4.

Why can't the iPhone sim card be transferred to non iPhone?

no it can notwell... TECHNICALLY it can. but only to 3G at&t cell phones. the sim has a unique shape. and one of the MAIn reasons that the iPhone sim card cant be transferred to a non iPhone in some cases... is because the sim card compartment requires a tool to unlock it and take out the sim card. :O it comes with the phone though. but i think you can only transfer the sim from the iPHone 3gSSSSSS cuz it has the actual card in it. the others dont... idk why. :P
