OT - iPhone contacts

My old phone was a Samsung.

I don't have contacts on Outlook.

I now have an iPhone.

How do I get the phone to either show the contacts on the Sim-card or copy over the contacts in a quick and simply manner.

    Depends on your old phone, I think.

    Does your work email use Exchange Server? Do you use Outlook as your email client?

    If either is "yes", best bet is to get your Sammy contacts onto a PC and imported into Outlook. Any BT or wifi means to shove your contacts to your PC from teh Sammy?

    Or...

    spend the day writing them down on some A4 paper and entering them onto your new phone. Which is what I would do. :)

    I just plugged my iPhone into my mac and everything was set up. Email, contacts, WiFi, everything. Quite scary actually. 8)

    I never did get my contacts off my SIM and onto my iPhone. By the time I'd realised the iPhone refused to read the SIM contacts list, it was too late; I could no longer use the SIM to get my D500 connected to the network (and it wouldn't show me my contacts without being connected).

    In the end, I just started a new contacts list. =/ Still, it probably needed pruning anyway.

    You have no idea what any of that means, do you?

    Overheard someone from IT did you?, sigh! it's very sad when the oldies try to be trendy :roll:

    Oh, hahahha. My sides. They're going to split. No, really. They are.

    [half arsed barely useful answer]

    i had to do this last rear (loved the d500). i think i used the software that came with the samsung to download the contacts from the d500, then imported them into the mac address book. then synced i=phone with mac.

    can't remember if i needed to do any editing/tweaking or not....

    then again i may be mis-remembering, and this is what i tried to do but failed.....

    Gonna do Greg's suggestion. Move the Sim-contacts onto Outlook via Sammy and move them onto the iPhone when connected.

    Thanks.

    good luck with that

    copy all your contacts to your old sim, put old sim in iphone and transer from sim. put new sim in iphone and you're done

    if you've just moved to O2 this merhod is way more complicated
