How to import iPhone contacts to SIM Card?

I am buying a new phone, and I have a lot of contacts on my SIM. I don't know how to transfer my iPhone contacts to my SIM?

Maybe if you gave us some clue what kind of phone you're getting... If you're getting a newer iPhone, then all you have to do is back up the old one, and restore it to the new one. If you sync contacts with a cloud service that's compatible with your new phone, you can just sync them down. Virtually no modern smartphones actually store contacts on the SIM. The format for contact storage on a SIM card can only hold a fraction of the information many people keep for their contacts.

  • Why I can't sync/import my contacts from SIM card to iphone?

    Having set up the account in itunes and syncing finished, I can't find the contacts in my iphone under 'contacts' or 'phone', why?
    Is is possible that my outlook is not an updated version??

    Iphone does not save to the SIM card.
    If you have another SIM card that has contacts on it, then use the direction in the manual under settings to import them into the iphone:
    Import contacts from a SIM: Choose “Mail, Contacts, Calendars,” then tap Import SIM
    Contacts.
    The contact information on the SIM is imported to iPhone. If you have Contacts
    enabled for both MobileMe and Microsoft Exchange, you’re prompted to choose which
    account you want to add the SIM contacts to."

  • How to get phone contacts onto sim card off k800i

    Hi all's
    I am hoping you can help me please. I have a lot of contacts on my k800i they are on my phone memory as far as i can tell. I want to put them directly onto my sim because my screen is cracked and i had to get a new phone. I have all the contacts backed up but i dont want to have to manually add them to my new phone. I just want to transfer them to sim ,pop the sim in my new phone and have my contacts available on my new phone.
    I have added a screen shot of the folders but cant find a folder saying contacts or anything like that.
    Do any of you know where i can find the folder or file i need to take and import into the sim card or how to do this.
    It would be great if some of you could help me. I have attached a screen shot you can see the folders if you need any more let me know.
    Thanks in advance for any responses or help.
    Kind Regards
    John

    http://www.fjsoft.at/en/downloads.php Download My Phone Explorer (MPE) to  your PC, connect your phone to it via USB (phone has to be in Phone/PC mode) and this will allow you to read/download contacts  in both phone memory and SIM card,so that you can either transfer them from phone to SIM, or transfer them directly from SIM to your new phone, if it's compatible with MPE.

  • How to store phone contacts to sim card on the BB 8900?

    I need to know how to store my contacts stored on my 8900 phone to the sim card, as I cannot find an option to do it. Even when I use the desktop manager, I can only recover the contacts to be stored on my phone and not my sim card.
    Thanks 

    Hi there!
    I'm a little confused now as to what you desire...the two sentences in your post seem a little bit contradictory. Are you asking how to store your contacts on your SIM? Or are you asking how to backup the contacts that are already stored on your SIM?
    Thanks!

  • HOW TO: Import iPhone contacts to Mac Address Book

    Hi,
    Has anyone tried importing or copying his/her iPhone 4 contacts into the Mac's Address Book?
    Is there a link that you can share that can refer me an existing topic in this discussions group?
    Thank you in advance.

    Put one unique contact in Address Book, this entry can be fake, that doesn't matter, the important point is that Address Book not be empty. Do the same with iCal, if you have calendar entries. When you hit the sync button, with contacts selected in iTunes, this should generate a merge or replace prompt. Select merge.

    Either the contacts were not actually stored on the SIM, the SIM memory is defective, or they are in a format not useable by the iPhone.
    Go to one of your carrier's stores. Most carriers have equipment that can do this, see if they can extract them for you.
