iPhone: How To Transfer Contacts--->SIM?

hl0m4n · 11-05-2008, 07:44 PM

all i find on the iphone and on internet is import sim contacts to iphone. i want to do the opposite, move the iphone contacts to the sim. any ideas?

it can't be done. i believe it says in the apple website that the iphone cant read to or write from the sim.

your only solution is to back up your phone info to itunes.

if your iphone is unlocked, there's an app available through installer called "iSim". I use it to back up my contacts to my phone and vice versa

why do you need to transfer to sim?

No way to transfer the contacts to SIM on iPhone. - Apple wants to you to stay with them for ever.
I found that the hard way when I switched from iPhone to Bold. What I did was synched all my contacts to Outlook and then moved them from outlook to Bold.

found a way to do it. i put my tmobile sim card back to my original tmobile phone (nokia 6133) retyped in all my contacts and transfered it to the sim card and i put the sim back into my iphone.

i pressed the "upload contacts from sim card" and it works great.
