How do you transfer SIM card data to an iPhone?

Answer 1

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.
