Can anyone help me with this. The contacts are on the SIM card as I transferred them all prior to taking the card out of the galaxy. When I press the 'import sim contacts' it looks as if it is happen win but the contacts are not actually in the contacts app. I've googled and found a few solutions but none of them have worked Help!!!!
No, well of course it will not work, because no iPhone ever stores any data on a sim card - you need to get the contacts onto your computer and then sync with your iPhone that way and then search the app store for an app to help you do this, because it is not possible to transfer straight from a sim card directly in this way.
I was under the impression that whilst iPhone do not store contacts on a SIM card, if a SIM card is put in an iPhone that contains contacts stored from a different phone ie a samsung galaxy the iPhone can import them onto the phone.
No, this is not the case - anything like that needs to be downloaded to your computer first and syced via iTunes or some other way, so you need to do a search of apps to help you achieve this, but the iPhone cannot import directly from a sim card in this way.
I tried that and no joy I'm afraid but thank you for your help.
I am going to go through it all again just in case there is something I didn't do. Thanks everyone
