Iphone 4

[mikey4444]

I am giving my old iPhone 4 to a friend. I have erased all my data on it.

He at present has one of those daft little Nokia 100's, on a contract, with O2.

What does he have do to transfer all the data on his Nokia, like contacts, etc, to the iPhone ? They don't use the same SIM, so he can't just pop his current SIM into the iPhone 4.

I have suggested that as a O2 customer, he should call into our local O2 shop, and the O2 Guru to hep. When I changed over from the 4 to the 6, the Guru chap couldn't have been more helpful, but my friend may want to have a go himself !

It can be done but might find it very technical... http://bit.ly/1Ue9tk0

Yes...you are right....it doesn't look too easy Jom !

Everybody said that changing from the 4 to the 6 was easy-peasy, but it still took the O2 Guru boy a good hour to do it, and I was glad that I didn't attempt it myself..

So I will tell him to pay a visit to the O2 shop as well.

The Nokia 100 is not a fully featured smartphone so I doubt there is much information on the Nokia.

If he only has a few contacts it may be just as easy to do it manually.

Isn't there a way that you can print off your list of contacts, from any Mobile, so that you have a hard copy ?

mikey, type "sim card reader" in google or ebay, may be one of these things could be some help to you

paul...thanks...never heard of those !

There's always a pen and paper if it's just a few numbers. Not sexy and hi-tech but pretty much foolproof.

Wow !

o2 shop will sort it out no problem free of charge too. They will transfer and change over sim cards.

[mikey4444]

Yes Giggsie...that will be my recommendation my old friend when I see him on Sunday morning.

Anyone know how these SIM card readers work ? Can you get a print out of all your contacts ?

I am wondering how that can do this, as I would have thought the info held on the SIMs would differ from phone to phone, instead of being held in plain text.

i haven't got a clue how they work mikey, but the first time i saw these they didn't plug into the pc. from what i remember you put a sim card in, pushed a button and it read/stored the data, then replaced card with next card and pushed button to release data onto new card. way too technical for me. i think they had a button cell battery in it

Thanks Paulie !
