Importing contacts from sim card

I just got a Blackberry 8700. I loaded my sim card that has all my contacts into it and fired up the phone. I followed the instructions to load the contacts to the address book but I cant get it to work. The instructions say to go to the address book, click the track wheel and then go to SIM phone book. Well I dont have the SIM phone book option for some reason. Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Will

OK, do this, in your Address Book... create a new contact, if even yourself. And save.
Now, go back in the Address Book, scroll over your contact, click once and do you see different options?

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.

Syncing contacts from sim card & merging with outlook

New phone - contacts from sim card were added to iphone. I do not have these in outlook but do have a few other "contacts" in outlook. I would like to keep all of the contacts on the phone and added to outlook. Will I lose my sim phone contacts because outlook contacts will be added to phone?

If you have contact entries on the iphone and the computer to which you are syncing, then you should be able to merge the two when you sync.

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."

Unablt to import contacts from SIM

We have just purchased the iphone 4s, and are unable to import contacts from the sim card. From comments posted on the web, this is a common problem and the suggested fix is to use an application called simport 1.0. Can anyone advise me if this is the correct fix, and where I can download this ap from. Thank you

You can only apps from the App Store, using modified software on your phone will void your warranty.
See if you can sync your old phone contacts to your supported program, for example address book, on your computer and choose this program to sync your contacts from when your connect your iPhone to iTunes.

Importing contacts from memory card

Have recently got new 5800 after mine got wet. The new one is slightly different and I have put my memory card from old one into new phone.
I can't seem to find the right route to import my numbers off my memory card.
I'm sure the card is not corrupted as it had all my music on which automatically transfered when I opened real player.

file manager>double click the memory card>option>copy contacts>from memory card...
this is how i remembered doing it.

Import contact from sd card to Z10

Dear Sir
Kindly tell me the procedur for imoprt contact from Sd Card ( V Card File ) to Blackberry Z 10
Manoj

On your BlackBerry, navigate to the VCF file in question and open it... click save to contacts.
I believe you will need to do that for EACH contact VCF file, you cannot import them en masse, the way you are doing this.

Phone will not import contacts from SIM

Hi, original iPhone, just upgraded device to 3.0. I go to 'import SIM contacts' and the phone acts like it's importing, then kicks out to the main screen. I check the contacts program and nothing is there.
I have verified that the contacts are on the SIM.
Any suggestion on how to resolve this?
Thanks.

Same problem for me, with an exception (that may apply to you). After importing SIM contacts and having them NOT show up in contacts list, I've found that they DO, in fact, show up when you do a phone search (the new feature accessed via a right hand sweep from the home page) for a contact that was on the sim card. In fact, it even shows up as a contact. So it does appear to import to the phone, there is just no way of viewing via the contacts list. Let me know if anyone discovers the same.

Getting contacts from sim card

I am about to get my iphone and i was wondering if i can just put in my old sim card with all my contacts saved to it into the iphone and then save them to the phone. It worked with my old phone. Has any one tried this, or know another way to transfer the contacts over from a old phone(Blackjack)-Thanks

You can't.
You'll need to get AT&T to extract the contacts from the SIM and put them on a flash drive for you. From there you can import them in to Address Book or Outlook and sync to the iPhone.

Can't get my contacts from SIM card?

I have taken my SIM card out of a really old Samsung and cut it down, put it in my iPhone 4s it works but have no contacts....? How do I get them?

IF the Samsung actually stored the contacts on the SIM, and you didn't damage the SIM when cutting it:
Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Import SIM Contacts.

Import Contacts from SIM simply does nothing!

Hi All, I have new iphone 3g, and want to import my contacts from my old Orange SIM (the contacts have all been copied to SIM). I enter the SIM and select "Import from SIM" in the settings --> Calendar, Contacts etc section. The message says "Importing contacts" but then nothing! Nothing in my contacts, no failure messages, nothing!
Someone please help, I cat sync my old phone with outlook either. DISPAIR!

Some people have reported that it can take a little bit for the iPhone to translate and update your contact list.
Give it about an hour and check back to see if they have updated.

Default contact from SIM Card

Hi I am trying to default my contact number to my SIM Card. Is there any way which I can do it ? I means upon click on the contact number, I will see a list of contact number in the screen from my SIM card.

Which phone model do you have?
On most of the existing S60/Symbian based models, you're only shown the contacts from phone memory, and you have to dig through the Options menu to SIM contacts in order to see what's there.
S40 based phones can show either, or, or both, and I think it might also be possible with the newest S60 3rd Edition Feature Pack 2 based phones (like the N78 or N96 or 5320, etc.).

HT4994 Import contacts to SIM card

Hi All
Does anyone know how I can import my contacts to my SIM card please?

The iPhone does not support storing or transferring contacts to the SIM card.

Transferring contacts from SIM card to phone

I'd like to transfer all my old mobile phone contacts from my SIM onto the phone or onto my google contacts. The only way I can see of doing this is manually, which would take many hours of typing.
Also, has anyone worked out how to get in contact with Palm directly? I've tried the 'live chat' in the support thing but either it doesn't work or noone answers. I love my PalmPre but find the O2 and Palm 'helpdesks' unknowledgeable and uncontactable respectively, so would appreciate any help with this.
Thanks in advance!

Glad you got it sorted but that would have been the the most obvious thing to do in the first place.
BTW you can also copy them all to memory card too, good to have them backed up there as well.

How can i import contacts from my regular sim to iphone 5 (nano sim)

how can i import contacts from my regular sim to iphone 5 (nano sim)

Sync the phone with the regular sim to the appropriate program on your
computer. When you set up the iPhone 5 in iTunes on that computer, you
will be offered the chance to import the contacts, etc.
Or take old phone and new iPhone to your wireless provider. They have the
equipment to do this quickly.
