How do I import all contacts to phone on an iPhone ? I need to get them on phone so I can then import them onto new SIM card.

Thank you

You may need to connect the phone to a pc use the program to copy them back and forth.

try this.

On the home screen go to settings.

The 8th option down is "mail, contacts, calendars"

Click this.

Now scroll all the way down. There 3rd to the last option is "import SIM contacts"

Click that. And there you go

Bluetooth?

Or, perhaps clone your phone onto your suppliers' website, then download it back onto the new SIM.

Don't think iPhones use sim for contacts. It syncs with your cloud/iTunes if your upgrading from one iPhone to another it should take them over I think...

As far as i remember you can transfer from sim to iphone but not back. Anything more you need to do via computer software. There is a reason i stick to iphones lol

You can't because iPhone doesn't save to sim.

What phone are you wanting to take the contacts from?

I think I have worked out that I just need to make sure to sync old phone before syncing new phone and they should all go over. I hope anyway

iCloud backup and then import assuming to another Apple device?

Can also use gmail to import then export contacts easily from any phone.

I did exactly this a few weeks ago and held my breath as I waited for it to sync... it all transferred perfectly - contacts, photos, music, messages etc

if like the apple mac migration assistant. Then is it a wast of time.

Friend up dated her mac as her old way was slow and there where no more updates for it.

Got a new mac and ran the update migration assistant only for it to tell they both had to be running the same version!

Quick up date. Got new phone and managed to iCloud everything over.

Then spent 30 mins on phone to a guy at ee while he sorted out transferring old number across.

Wouldn't have taken so long had we not been laughing so much. He reckons I'm mad .

Apologies for anyone waiting to talk to ee.
