For years I have used a Nokia rubber phone but its time to upgrade, i now have the new version (5140i), how can i transfer all the numbers stored in the phone from one to another without manually doing so? I only have one sim card so can only have one working at a time so can't use i.r.... anyone?

BEFORE registering new sim card move all numbers to old card and then put old card in new phone and transfer from "sim to phone" job done..... This is now where you say "i've already registered new sim".... if you've done that i'm pretty sure you're screwed

its eisier to send contacts but send all through blue tooth takes 2 seconds

bud-weis

yeah as above, go into contacts,scroll down to copy,then choose 'from phone to sim card...

then in your new phone, do the same but copy from sim to phone.

i use a 5140 for work, damn near indestructable

I'm using the same sim card! The numbers on that transfer over with the card, it's the numbers stored in the phone memory i need to transfer... and there are loads

Martin - Think your Sim will hold about 200 numbers. Your best bet is to copy/move all your numbers off the phone memory into the simcard. Then place your old simcard in your new phone. Should be in the phonebook menu

Put the sim in the original phone. In the contacts menu there is a copy option. Use 'copy to sim'. That means all the numbers on the phone are now on the sim.

Put the sim in the new phone and use 'copy from sim to phone'

May i suggest you get a cable to connect your new Nokia to the computer and store a backup copy of all your numbers on the PC.

From someone who recently had a mobile stolen, I can tell how invaluable this was.

Cant u change the storage device for them numbers to the sim card before removing it, so all numbers from ur old fone are stored on your sim?

Numbers should be stored on the sim card? mine are anyway so when i got my new mobile the other day all i had to do was take the sim out my old phone whack it in the new one and i was away with all my numbers and text inbox/outbox

BM08

My old d500 must have saved them to sim as default then because i did nothing

I think what Marting might be saying is that the SIM card is full, therefore some numbers will be on the phone memory, which means you can't copy the numbers from phone to the SIM to transfer.

What I did was backup ALL the numbers to my computer first, and then did as Eagle suggests above.......

Easy answer.....

Take the phones into a Carphone Warehouse, they will sort it for you.

That's OK as long as you don't have any wife-porn that you don't want them to perv at.

Yep, this is what I had to do when my SIM was full and still had loads of numbers left on the phone.


Martin, alternatively................ get the wife to do it
