I thought that it is supposed to be stored on the sim card? :confused: beetle	beetle (243)

The easiest way, if both have Bluetooth is to sync them to your computer and then sync them to your new phone, or just send each individual contact via Bluetooth directly between phones.	maccrazy (6741)

Just remember to leave alone the phone when it starts transferring. If its a Nokia and phone better than a 1100i download Nokia PC suite. You will need to get 1 of 3 things Data cable pc usb to phone Infrared pc usb or serial port (DSE) Bluetooth pc usb dongle If you are a low tech use you can get a sim card reader which plugs into pc usb and you can download to computer, update etc and upload to sim. I am not sure of non nokia phones never owned one I always stay loyal to 1 brand like ford cars , Sako rifles etc.. tedheath	tedheath (537)
