Contacts and new sim card and number

I am getting a new sim card with a new phone company and a new number but I do not want to loose my messages, contacts, calendar items and emails and notes.
So how do i go about being able to sync them to my phone once I install the new sim card?

Changing the SIM card will not effect your data as an iPhone does not store any data on the card. If you're concerned, create a backup before changing the card.

Loading contacts onto new sim card?

I have recently had to change my sim card cause i could connect to the 3G network properly, so O2 suggested a new sim card which seems to have solved the problem. But my problem now is, how can i transfer my contacts from either my phone onto the sim card as back up or from itunes?
Anyone any ideas???

You should be syncing your iphone to your computer. The contacts will be in whatever program you selected ( i.e. Outlook). You can back them up according to the instructions (likely found in the help feature) within that application.
The iphone does not store to the SIM.

What is my new sim cards phone number

ive just purchased an orange pay as you go sim card and want to activate it but cannot because nowhere on anything in the simcard pack or on the sim itself does it tell me what the actual mobile phone number is,when i put it in my phone and navigate through the settings to see my new phone number it says unknown number, where can i find the phone number?

This depends on what Orange SIM you have. You could have a pre-activated SIM or you could have a SIM that needs to be activated on the EE website.
If your phone is on and shows service (EE with either G, E or 3G), text the word number to 150.
If your SIM needs to be activated, you can use Orange's PAYG SIM activation tool here.

I put a new sim card and a new number on this phone but for some reason it is paired with a Lady who can read all my texts how do i fix this

You bought the phone from this lady right and she did not turn off imessage. Try turning off imessage and restart the phone. Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for device to restart (no data will be lost). Wait a few minutes and turn imessage back on

How can i change the face time number and the Imessage, when purchasing a new sim card

i moved countries so i bought a new sim card, my phone is unlocked i bought it from apple store at square one which is located in Canada, toronto. the main issue im facing with my iphone is i can not change my facetime number and Imessage. any help please?

i tried turning both off and leaving them off for a while but i did not work at all,
And that included powering the iPhone off and on after doing so included with my question?
If so, try removing your iPhone from being associated with your Apple ID per the instructions included with this link. I would turn iMessage and FaceTime off on your iPhone before doing so.

After doing this, your new phone number should be registered with your Apple ID for iMessage and FaceTime when turning both back on with your iPhone.

Waiting for Activation i have an iphone 3g. iphone is from my old contract and i have given it to my girlfriend. she then went to the O2 store and they gave her a new sim card which is compatable with iphone 3g. O2 have told me the phone is not blocked.

" fault code,,,,,waiting for activation, this may take some time,,,,," O2 gave my gf the contract and the new sim card to go into my old iphone 3g which was with O2 previous, O2 have assured us that the phone's imei number is not blocked, they have also said the sim is activated and there is no reason why the phone should not work. the phone is out of date warranty. the sim card does work in other handsets, also my sim from my iphone 3gs does not work in the iphone 3g. i have spent hours litterally on the phone to O2 and now to apple, but because i am out of warranty apple want £25 just to even listen to me over the phone. someone please help me. i am getting very frustrated for hopefully what might be an easy fix for someone. i have done all the resets that are possibly humainly possible, i have done all the resores you can do, have sync'd on many occasions all to come up with the same fault. i am still getting O2 in the top left corner but with no bars and when trying to call it fails imediately. wifi is fine, it works as an ipod.

ONLY AT&T can legally/legitimately unlock it. No one else at all.

After updating to iOS 5, my Iphone 4 is not reading my SIM Card. I went to ATT and got a brand new SIM Card, and it still hasn't worked. Can you help??

After updating my iphone 4 to iOS 5, it refused to read my att SIM Card. I went to the Apple store (Lennox Mall, Atlanta Georgia) for help, they told me that it was an Att problem, and needed me to get a brand new Sim Card from Att. I went to Att and replaced my SIM Card to a new one. I later returned to the Apple store, but the phone still didn't work. The apple techs blamed the att network, and stated I needed to go home and wait for 24-48 hrs, and retry the att network again, and hopefully the phone will work. The next option they gave me was to pay $200.00 to get a replacement because my phone was out of warranty.
So I basically I have a phone which has never been dropped, not abused, no water damage or what so ever. Prior to my IOS 5 update, it worked perfectly without any problems. Now, that its not working as a result of either Apple's or Att's fault, no one seems to be helping or standing behing their product. Both parties are blaming each other for the problem. Can someone help??

I've seen a number of reports of this on here. In most cases where people took their phones in to the Apple store, they were given a replacement, even if the phone was out of warranty.

I have changed my account to SIM only and when I put my new SIM Card into my iPhone 4 it just says 'no service' in the top left corner, also iMessage has stopped working too. I can only use my phone on my WiFi at the moment, does anyone have any idea?

I sent my Iphone 5c in for repair and when they sent it back my sim card wasn't in it is there any way i can have them send it back or do I need to get a new sim card for it?

You'll have to get a new one from your carrier. I believe the shipping instructions for mail in service explicitly tell you to take it out as you will most likely not receive the same phone back. Apple doesn't repair most phones, they replace them.

I lost my iphone, got a new sim card and put it in my boyfriend's old iphone. When I synch it in itunes it will only synch with his stuff and not mine. Any ideas how I can get it to synch with my itunes??

Are you using a Mac? It sounds like you are using his computer to sync to. If this is the case, then it will sync to all of his stuff unless a new user is created with your personal stuff on it.
When you want to sync your iPhone to that computer, switch to your user first, and then everything will sync with your stuff. If he wants to hook up his iPhone to sync it, then he needs to switch back to his own username first.

I will studying in the UK for the next year and want to know if an unlocked iPhone 4S with a new sim card purchased in the UK will work as opposed to getting a new phone?

I will studying in the UK for the next year and want to know if an unlocked iPhone 4S with a new sim card purchased in the UK will work as opposed to getting a new phone? There seem to be differeing opinions on this.

Iphone 4s only has one version so it should work world wide in any carrier..As long as it's and unlocked version ofcourse.

HT201328 My iPhone is from Japan and I want to activate it here in the Philippines because I'm living here. I have lost the original SIM from Softbank and replaced it with a new SIM card from Globe. How can I use the SIM card from Globe?

You cannot. The iPhone is locked to Softbank, and only they can unlock it. Problem is that Softbank will NOT unlock the phone, as they do not offer iPhone unlocking.
Buy an iPhone in the Phillipines.
PS Before you go on a rant at Apple, be aware that Apple does NOT unlock phones and they do not set unlocking policies. The carriers (Softbank in this case) set the unlocking policy.

I damaged my iPhone 4. I have ordered a new 4s. I never backed up or synced my contacts onto my sim card. Do you have to do that manually or will my contacts be on my phone when I put my sim card in the new iPhone 4s?

The iPhone under normal circumstances does not store contacts on the SIM Card. It can read them, but again under normal circumstances does not write them to the SIM Card.
When you sync your new iPhone to iTunes on your usual computer you can restore from a Back-Up of your old iPhone to get Contacts and other data and files installed on your new iPhone.

WHICH CARRIERS WILL ALLOW ME KEEP MY PHONE NUMBER WITH NEW SIM CARD?

WHICH CARRIERS IN USA WILL ALLOW ME TO KEEP MY PHONE NUMBER WITH NEW SIM CARD ON AN IPHONE 5S?

thank you.
i did not know that it was different from normal writing where one might use all caps to cull the attention of the public---as in a newspaper advertisement selling an item and the caps would be intended to make the ad stand out from other advertisements. i'm old school i guess but im learning & i thank you.
Did not intentionally try to yell at the readers. Hope i didn't wake anyone up!!! Again, my apology. Thanx.
