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.

    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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • 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."

  • HT204150 Is there any way to import contacts from microsim?

    Is there any way to import contacts from microsim?

    You're welcome.  It might be a longshot, but you might be able to take the sim to your carrier and see if they can help.  They frequently transfer contacts between devices so they would at least have a sim reader and may be wiling to give you a vCard (.vcf) file with the contacts.  If you could get a combo .vcf file that was compatible, you could email that to yourself, then open the email on your iPad and tap the file to import the contacts.

  • How can i import contacts from another AIM account to this new one

    If you reference my last ichat question, you will see that I have had serious problems and had to create a new account.
    How can I import contacts from another AIM account to this new one??

    Hi,
    Use AIM for Mac and use the Export and Import features.
    Other than that it is a question on making sure every Single Buddy has more than just their Screen name in the IChat Address Card so it is added to the Address Book and dragging them back from there

  • I can't import contacts from Outlook to Address Book

    I've tried to do the research before asking this question, but I can't get this to work. How do you import contacts from Microsoft Outlook to Address book? When I try to export from Outlook, the only option I have is .csv file, it doesn't give me an option to export as a vcard. I've exported to a .csv file and tried importing this into Address Book as a text file, and it opens up a window called Text File Import. When I click OK nothing happens. I'm new to the Mac world so I don't know what I'm doing wrong or what I'm missing. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    One way if you are still accessing an email account with Outlook is the following:
    In Contacts, click the contact you want to send as a vCard or select all to send all, and then on the Actions menu, click Forward as vCard.
    All contacts will be added to a new message created as separate vCard attachments. Send the message to an email account you are accessing with the Mail.app on the Mac.
    Create a folder on the Mac desktop or in your location of choice and save all vCard attachments received via email to this folder.
    Launch Address Book and at the menu bar, go to File > Import and select vCards navigating to the folder that contains the vCard files sent from Outlook.

  • How can i import contacts from a csv file to "iCloud Contacts"?

    How can I import contacts from a csv file to "iCloud Contacts"?

    The only way I know of to import cells from a csv file is by creating a new file.  But then you can select the desired cells and copy them to the other file.  I just did it to be sure it works.
    1. Create the new spreadsheet file via the upload command.
    2. Select the cells (table) that you want to move to the other file and press command+C (copy).
    3. Close the new file and open the existing file.
    4. Select the top/right cell of the area to receive the copied "table" and press commant+V (paste).
    I hope this is what you're trying to do!

  • How do i import contacts from my hotmail account

    how do i import contacts from my hotmail account? Every time i try, there's a message that keeps popping up saying that it can't do because the contacts aren't separated by commas...????? Please help, i'm a recent "switcher"
    thanks

    The short answer, for now, is you don't. It's increasingly clear that Microsoft does not want to extend this privilege to users of free HotMail accounts, not does it want to offer POP3 access to anyone other than paying HotMail Plus users at this point, and for the foreseeable future. And, IMAP: that's out of the question, apparently.
    While the plugin idea is a nice one, the referenced open-source HTTPMail plug in is broken by Mac OS X 10.5, and nothing has been heard to date from the developer about an update to support Mail in Leopard.
