One at a time only 😃
go to the number you want to copy and select copy to sim.

atleast in v.3.16

Oh god, is there no other way?

I thought that I was clever. Cleared the whole sim (hadn't got "correct" names for everybody).

My intensions were to copy contacts from from phone to sim, but apparently that aint gonna happen.

Sorry for the bad english, trying to watch TV and type at the same time 😉

Whell,you can do that by transfering the contacts database via bluetooth,asuming that both phones are runing flight mode.

Yes 😃

Send the whole lot in one go as e-mail to an e-mail addy on new phone, then save from e-mail to 'contacts'

Well, 7650 is my only phone that supports e-mail

Hi all

Just passing through and I saw thsi thread while I was finding out how to transfer contacts. I have a Nokia N80 (O2) and just bought a Samsung SGH-U600 (Virgin).

The way I transferred all my contacts was like this: On the N80, goto Contacts, in "Options" do "Mark All". Then in "Options" do Send (via Bluetooth when prompted). Set up Bluetooth to receive on the other phone (before you do the above) and all the contacts came over like a dream 😊

Hope that's helpful to someone.

Cheers
