    I’m changing my blackberry to my wife’s old iPhone 3g,how do I save all my phone numbers to my sim card then transfer them to the iPhone?

    Possibly better to back them up online if you can. Saving to your sim means you then end up with a load of contacts saying: Erny Home, Erny Work, Erny Mobile etc etc

    ok this is going to be a pretty general guess, but its how my phone does it. go into contacts and find an option where you can select all the names, once youve done that find another option that says something along the lines of ‘move to sim’ and that should do it.

    Your blackberry has no option to save numbers to the sim. Your network providers shop or an apple store will have a data transfer tool. Otherwise you will have to look at other sync options mentioned above.

    Your blackberry has no option to save numbers to the sim.

    Even if it did you wouldn’t want to, the storage ability of the SIM is much more limited than your average smartphone. Contacts to SIM was a good idea back in Nokia 6110 days, these days it’s asking for problems.

    Far more reliable to sync to something else (Google, Outlook) and sync back. I’ve used Outlook as the ‘glue’ since my first phone back in the early Jurassic, and more recently switched to Google when I moved to Android.

    iPhone doesn’t use SIM-based contacts AFAIK. Sync your blackberry contacts with your contacts in Mac Mail or GMail. Then use iCloud.
