How to Copy Contacts From Your SIM Card to Your iPhone
Comments

Hi, I've got the SIM contacts bit covered. But I have no idea how to copy / access the SMS that were recorded in SIM. I have a 256 kb SIM with 4 different partitions.. Stores 250 contacts and xx SMS in each partition.. Now I would like to transfer all of them to my phone. Anyone if you have the solution to this SMS transfer from SIM to

Remove the SIM from the old phone to be copied. Use the wire provided by iPhone to open the iPhone SIM card tray. Remove the iPhone SiM card and replace it with the card to be copied. Open the iPhone menu to settings, to contacts, to copy SIM card. When the operation is finished, replace the iPhone SIM card into its original position. Your address book will now be on the iPhone. Most blogs that I read never mentioned the need to physically exchange SIM cards.

Thanks for the excellent suggestion of using the SIM card to transfer contacts. Worked like a charm.

Chaps, I been trying to do this for ages too.. Then I realised something! Its a standard thing on the 2.2.1 software, if you go - settings - mail, contacts,calendars - under the contacts list is a "import sim contacts" button! ha ha.. God I feel an idiot now...

do you know how to hide the sim contacts?

i LOVE you!!!! i was taking ages too until i read your comment and i got it in 5 seconds flat! Thanks!

I am on 2.2.1 Cannot find Simport on my Cydia Does it even work for firmware 2.2.1?

Hi! I´ve tried to install SIMPORT with the firmware 2.0.1. when i push the package too install it appears an error: "unable to decode package more info al https://www.iclarified.com/" What is the reason? it could be that the simport v 1.0 is old for this firmware ( 2.0.1).

brilliant!! took me a while but i got it in the end - much easier than entering them all in manually!! thanks!

Hello guys, I m having a problem with this app, i installed it and copied all of my 250 contacts normally HOWEVER all my SIM contact numbers begin with "+" which is the inetrnational prefix before the country code so when i copied the contacts the "=" sign wansnt copied. its a problem since if i dial any number it will give me an error since the "=" sign must be there. why doesnt it copy the "=" sign ?? thank u in advance

Hi Guys. I have a problem. I have ran Simport and all my Sim contacts are showing in my iphone. But when one of my contacts phones me I still get the phone number NOT the contact name. Any solution to this please? URGENT Thanks.

Hi guy's nice page i need to past my contacts from outlook, it's given me hard times thanks

lol i have none this for so long, exept i used the simport from the frinchiphone,con source to get sim port like about 2 mounths back :)

When I try to install the simport, I get the error message as main script execution failed. Could you help on this? Thanks.

Shame is that it does not recognize the country prefix so I have to add a + to all the numbers. Is there anyway I can change the phone settings to a European (or German) phone? I might have missed that part. Thanks.

Ahahaha... thats fantastic, I was about to start synching and doing all that stuff and now there's a solution to it. Thanks a lot!

It would be very nice if you could create a dail function from the sim card
