Broken 6280 - need to transfer contacts to sim - p...

Question

Hi
I have managed to damage my LCD screen on my phone but have realised that my numbers are all saved on the phone and not on the sim.
Can someone give me step-by-step advice on how to retrieve my contacts without being able to view the screen?
Desperately need to get them back.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
To copy the Contacts to the Sim Card, you can try this:
1.) Restart the handset,(So that you would be on the Standby Screen)
2.) Press Menu, you would find Messages 1st, then would be Contacts.
3.) Press the Middle key, so that the Contacts will be opened,
4.) Now the first option would be 1.)Names, 2.)Synchronise, 3) Settings, 4.)Groups, 5.) Speed Dials, 6.)Service Numbers
                                                7.) Delete Contacts, 8.) Move Contacts, 9.)Copy Contacts
5.) This is where you need to be careful, cos when the contacts is opened, Names would be highlighted. So scroll down 8 times, then Copy Contacts would be highlighted.
6.) The first option would be From Phone to Sim Card & Sim Card to Phone
7.) Press the middle key, so that the "From phone to Sim Card" is opened.
8.) It will give prompt "Copy Contacts = Yes (Middle Key) & No (Right Selection Key).
9.) Select the key according to copy the contacts to the Sim Card.
10.) Now wait for a few minutes as you would not be able to know how much time it would take to copy the contacts (depending on the number of contacts & the available space in the Sim Card.
