I am writing this review because when i got my iPhone, i wanted the contacts from my old phone into the iPhone without retyping every single one. I asked the man at the AT&T store and he didn't know how to do it. So i figured it out on my own and I will share it with you. The review may seem pretty pointless, but if your a new iPhone owner, hopefully it will help you out.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

iPhone
SIM card with contacts in it.

Step 1

Insert the SIM card into the iPhone. (use the little poker to pop the tray out. If you lost it, a paperclip will work just fine.)
Step 2

Next thing you want to do is go into the settings.
Step 3

When in settings "scroll" down to Mail,Contacts,Calendars.
Step 4

"Scroll" down and there should be a button that says "Import SIM Contacts" Push that button and your phone will import your contacts from the SIM card to the phone itself.
