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.

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.

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.

Transfer Phone numbers from SIM card to phone

Is it possible to transfer Phone numbers from the SIM card to phone, in the NOKIA 6070?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

"Search for the contact you want to copy, and select Options > Copy. You can copy names and phone numbers
from the phone contact memory to the SIM card memory, or vice versa. The SIM card memory can save names
with one phone number attached to them."

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.).

Clearing out personal info from sim card sold phone on ebay

I cleared out all my info once on my iphone, but I need to remember how to do it again. I sold the phone,and and I want to clear all personal info, Note pad, passwords, contacts etc;
How do I do it?
Thank you

The iPhone store no data on the sim card. To clear all data from the phone itself: Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content & Settings. If any model phone other than a 3GS or iPhone 4, plug the phone into a wall outlet first, as this can take several hours. On a 3GS or iPhone 4, it takes but a minute or two.

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.

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?

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.

Transferring addresses from Sim Card

My iphone came today and somewhat frustrated at this point. The slot that shows where the sim card goes is the slot for the usb cord/recharer. Is this really where the card goes and if so, do I have to take it out each time I recharge the phone. Does the iphone come with a sim card...When I activate my number/account, does everything operate at that point?

Thanks for this info and I did read the manual but it wasn't very clear. Now that I know where the sim card is, I used the tool and it stated there was no sim card installed. If the phone comes with a sim card, where would it be? It wasn't in the package. Sorry if this sounds elementary, but I do need help and I appreciate it very much. Thanks.

Thanks...

No need to apologise as no time was wasted. If you need any help transferring them using a memory card just ask.

How can I set up two iPhones with the same contact, photos, music etc... but a different sim card and phone number. They will both be my phones, but one will be for use in other countries.

Phone A = phone with information you want duplicated
Phone B = phone that you want to copy from A
Backup Phone A.
Wipe Phone B using these instructions. What to do before selling or giving away your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Phone B should be on the 'Hello' screen. Do not swipe it. Launch iTunes. Plug in Phone B.
When iTunes asks if you want to set up as new phone or restore from backup, choose restore from backup of Phone A.
After this setup, any changes to one phone (i.e. adding a contact, downloading an app) will have to be manually duplicated on the second phone, if that is your desire). Making changes to one phone will not affect the other after setup.
