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.

  • How do i get contacts from iphone to merge with outlook contacts

    how do i get contacts from iphone to merge with outlook contacts

    If Outlook already has a munch of contacts, do I need to delete them all (all but 1 unique) to sync correctly?
    I have and iPhone ith up to date contacts, and I have outlook with some of the same contacts with older info. When I sync, outlook is OK, but I get a lot of copies of the same contact on my iPhone. Now I'm not entirely sure which are the up-to-date contacts and which aren't (and there's hundred of contacts to go through).
    ...For future reference, is there a way to to send the iPhone contacts to Outlook without adding crap to my phone? Amidst the sync process I noticed and option for conflicting files and choose the "always use phone" but still wound up with a contact mess of mixed old and new on the phone.

    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.

  • 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."

  • 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.

  • 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.).

  • 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.

    IF the Samsung actually stored the contacts on the SIM, and you didn't damage the SIM when cutting it:

  • 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?

  • Syncing contacts from iPhone to Outlook and vice versa

    I have the new iPhone and I have set up an account in Outlook and have it sync from my MSN Hotmail account. Everything syncs and looks good with the exception of my contacts. I need to know how to put a contact into my phone and have it sync into my Outlook and vice versa. Currently if I put a contract in my phone it does not go to Outlook and if I put a contact in Outlook it does not go to my iPhone.
    Do I have to add a new contact to the MSN hotmail account and then it will sync to my Outlook and then my iPhone? How do I get the contacts to go from my iPhone to my Outlook and then to my Hotmail?
    Same issue with Calendars.
    Thanks!

    The iPhone supports syncing contacts and calendar events with Outlook 2003 or 2007, which is selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes. Syncing contacts and calendar events direct with Outlook 2003 or 2007 via the iTunes sync process syncs direct with the Outlook address book and calendar - with what is available locally on your computer in the Outlook address book and calendar.

  • Is there any way to sync Outlook for Mac with iPhone? I have tried everything but not successful. Apple says it is not possible to sync contacts from Outlook for Mac to iPhone 5. Any help will be much appreciated.

    Is there any way to Sync contacts from Outlook for Mac to iPhone 5? Apple support says that only iTune can only sync contacts from "Contact" which is the default contact of Mac. If one is running Outllok on a Mac machine then it is not possible to sync the contacts with iPhone. It is strange that Apple distributors are promoting and offering machines with promise that Windows users can now run MS Office on Mac machines without any problem. While this is true, it is so strange that one cannot sync the contacts from MacBook Pro to iPhone5. If someone has found a way to sync contacts from Outlook to iPhone 5 please help as it is very frustrating to not be able to sync the contacts. Thanks, Amit.

  • HT204150 will merging contacts from a macbook air with iCloud duplicate my contacts?  There is no sync option given, only 'merge'!

    will merging contacts from a macbook air with iCloud duplicate my contacts?  There is no sync option given when I select contacts in my iCloud preferences screen, only 'merge'!  Before I do it I'd like to know if I'll create a ton of duplicates.  If yes, then how do you link contacts from your macbook with icloud?  Thanks

    If the same contacts exist in iCloud and on your MBA then there will clearly be duplicates. Export the contacts from the MBA, (On My Mac account) and then delete the content of the On My Mac account, then join iCloud on the MBA.

  • TS3988 My wife bought an iPad Air and synced contact from our PC (Outlook), now all our contacts in Outlook have gone and we have to go to iCloud to get them, and even then they are a bit jumbled. How do I get my data back onto my PC?

    My wife bought an iPad Air and synced contact from our PC (Outlook), now all our contacts in Outlook have gone and we have to go to iCloud to get them, and even then they are a bit jumbled. How do I get my data back onto my PC?

    If you can see the iCloud contacts in Outlook, you can copy them back to your PC by selecting all the contacts (click one, then press Control-A), then drag and drop the selected contacts to Contacts under My Contacts on the left sidebar of Outlook.
    If you want to copy your calendar back to Outlook, select your iCloud calendar on the left sidebar of Outlook, switch to the list view (select View from the ribbon, then click Change View>List), select your events (click on a single event, then press Control-A), then control drag and drop them to Calendar under My Calendars on the left sidebar.
    Then you can sign out of iCloud on the iCloud control panel and your local copies will still be there.  If you want to add your iCloud email account back to iCloud, you can do this with these settings: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864.

  • Sync contacts from outlook 2007 to gmail problem

    Hello everybody! I have an issue when I use the sync zone in order to sync contacts from outlook 2007 to gmail with pc companion 2.10.065
    The problem is that some certain fields (like "work 2" number) do not sync at all.
    Other fields (like the "webpage" field) sync on some contacts and do not sync on some other contacts.
    Is there a workaround on that?

    I have just tested this and it seems just as you say that any second number of the same category won't be synced. I think this is a limitation at Google not matching/supporting the exact same PIM filed's.
    However I could not replicate the problem with the web page field.
