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 CAN I SYNC ALL MY CONTACTS FROM MY IPHONE TO ICLOUD?

Go to Settings>iCloud, sign in with your Apple ID to create your account if you haven't already done so, turn Contacts on and choose Merge with iCloud when prompted. If you are syncing contacts from an external account (Gmail, Yahoo, exchange, etc.) you will need to take additional steps to add them. Let me know if that's the case.

Do you normally sync via iTunes and your computer? If so, there's an option in iTunes - that you see as you plug each device in - to sync contacts. If you don't normally sync via iTunes you can download and use the iCloud control panel and use that to sync your contacts.

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.

iPhone stores no data on a sim card, thus there is no way to save anything to the sim card.

Why i can't activate my phone with my sim card

Impossible to say without more details. Is the iPhone locked to a carrier, and if so are you using a SIM from that carrier? If you believe that the iPhone is not carrier-locked, where did you purchase the iPhone and was it sold unlocked or did you get a previous carrier to unlock it? And are you using a SIM from a carrier that officially supports the iPhone?
People will need much more specific information about your issue before anyone can offer suggestions.

How can I view my iCloud contacts from someone else's iPhone? I don't want to change their phone settings.

Yesterday I ran into a problem that was eye opening to say the least. I could not not access my contacts in order to find a friend's phone number. No one remembers phone numbers any more. God knows I don't.
I was on a jetski and it broke down. I was stranded at a dock miles away. I needed to contact my friend to tell him (a) I'm ok, (b) where I was, (c) to bring a tow. Of course I had no phone on me because it would have gotten soaked.
People were kind enough on the dock to let me use their smart phones to attempt to retreive the phone number and call for help. But I quickly discovered that it is impossible.
On an iPhone, I tried to use their Safari browser to go to www.icloud.com. When you do that, it simply redirects you to the apps. But it isn't my phone, and their apps are logged in to the owner's accounts. I wasn't about to update the settings in a stranger's phone.
One guy let me try his iPad with Cellular. Same problem as the iphones. It would not let me use www.icloud.com. It insisted that I use the native iOS apps.
On an Android, www.icloud.com would simply refuse to work. It would say it was not supported.
The question I have is: How can I view my contacts from someone else's smart phone in an emergency situation?
Second question: Why can't I use www.icloud.com on a smart phone's web browser like I can on regular computer?
I got lucky. I happened to know my mom's home number. Many hours later she was home and I was able to use a phone to call her. She brought up www.icloud.com on her home computer, logged on as me, and read me the phone number I was seeking. But what are the chances of being able to call a trusted person who has access to a computer to do this for you?

Without "pretending" to be yourself on the other phone (change settings) there's nothing else you can do.
iOS devices are meant to be single user and can't view iCloud.com the same way a Mac or PC can do.
You need to find a desktop or laptop machine (Mac or PC) to log in at iCloud.

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.

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?

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.
