iPhone question

[sr71blackbird]

If I have a sim card in my present phone which has all my contacts, and if I get an iPhone, how do I get my contacts into the iPhone?
I have a Blackberry and also sync it with my desktop manager.

There should be an option in your Blackberry to save all contacts to the SIM card.

Then when you stick it in the iPhone, there should be an option to save all SIM contacts to phone.

I doubt the sim cards are the same.
iphone will sync with outlook, gmail, yahoo, IEand some other things on your computer...

Wait, I heard the iPhone doesn't use a sim card. Is this no longer true? Its the newest model of iPhone, the 3Gs

No it doesnt use SIM cards, they give a reason is for visual voicemail but anytime apple tries to force someone to use their system its just greed. They make people do things the mac way, if it was MS doing this shit they would say "its corporate greed, maaaaaaaaan"

Fuck apple, they are worse than MS, they get sued more than MS in europe for their unfair practices.

You heard wrong. There's a little drawer in the top of the phone that will pop out if you stick a pin in it (iPhone comes with one to help you with that) and it holds the SIM card. I'm not sure if you can transfer the contacts from the SIM, but you can always sync your blackberry to your PC/Mac then transfer them to the iPhone, or the store should be able to do it for you.

Christ people on this site LOVE to make up shit.

What do you use to manage your contacts now? Or do you just do em from the phone?

[KnoxHarrington]

In the "Mail, Contacts, Calendar" menu in Settings, there should be an item called "Import SIM Contacts."

Click that.

Ya, you plink out the drawer and throw your sim card in, and In Settings, tap “Mail, Contacts, Calendars,” then tap Import SIM Contacts.

All AT&T and T-Mobile phones use a SIM card, which can be switched back and forth into any of your old phones.

Sprint and Verizon do not use SIM cards, that's why you have to transfer contacts and have phones activated by them.

Whether it's Samsung, Nokia, Motorola, or HTC, I've never seen a phone that doesn't allow you to "copy all contacts to SIM" and "copy all contacts to phone."

I've done it every time I've switched phones.

In the store they told me they could switch them over if they had the right cords. I just wound up putting them all in manually over a few days. Helped me to clean out the address book.

Thank you everyone. Instrument, I appreciate that you seem to know so much about the cellular world, but I wish you could comment without it seeming like other peoples opinions and advice are hogwash, because it limits discussive participation. But thanks for the tip

iPhones definitely have sim cards that's how people unlock them to use the phone on other carriers.
