No what i mean is export from iphone go to the simcard not import from simcard go to the iphone.Because when i add a new contact it's only can save on the iphone but not save on the simcard some other phone when you add a new contact you can save it on the simcard.Thanks

did you find a way to do that??!.. I was interested in doing exactly the same thing (iphone 2.1 on tmobile!!) Please let me know...

other options are: Outlook

Get it on to nokia PC suite,sync it with outlook,then plug your phone in and it will transfer across via itunes...

thx for the heads up dejawoo...
but this method doesnt update ur current iphone contacts onto ur SIM card...

Anyone know how to do this? I know you could use iSim on 1.1.4 but there doesn't seem to be anything similar for current firmware.

To be clear, we want to save the contacts FROM the iPhone TO the SIM card.

it sure would be helpful

cant find a solution still.... lame!

**saifeeab** · 02-06-2009, 02:55 AM

i have been trying to do the same but till now i have been unable to. if u sync with outlook and if your outlook doesnt have the same contacts then it doesnt work. someone needs to make an app like iSim again.

1st copy all contacts to your computer's Outlook.Then sync with Nokia Pc Suite.Put your sim into to your Nokia sim tray.Plug your Nokia phone into computer.Sync with Nokia Pc Suite&copy all contacts to your Nokia's contacts,then copy all to your Nokia sim...Then use the sim with your iphone...

i think every one is looking for a simple solution. not a long strung out process

**thevmax** · 11-05-2009, 01:49 PM

Also, what if we don't have Outlook OR a Nokia phone ?

**se23** · 11-05-2009, 02:24 PM

Well thanks dejawoo, i know its long but ive thanked you as it worked, also its not like u have 2 do it everyday.

The iPhone by itself can't write contacts to the SIM card, only read them.

Did a quick online search, try this shareware app: (change hxxp to http)

Did anyone manage to find a solution, I want to transfer my iPhone contacts to the sim so I can use it with my very cheap LG which doesn't sync with Outlook.

I tried using that and it didn't work very well...

I ended up just syncing all of my contacts with Address Book. It's easier to just back up your iPhone though. Saves all of your contacts.
