Today I got a iPhone 3GS, when I put my sim card in it none of the contacts carried over. I plugged the sim card back in my old phone and all the contacts are saved to the sim. Why aren't they carrying over? And what alternative ways can I transfer them?

Ummm
Is your old phone a type of iPhone?
If not, it probably wont work :sleep.gif:
Verizon has a tool to move contacts over but if its a GSM phone not Verizon. Could also save contacts to an SD card but iphones don't have SDcard slots do they.
So I know Bluetooth can move contacts over on android but I don't know about iphones.
Could also back it up onto a computer but I don't know if iphones supports it.
Go back in time and stop yourself from buying any apple product to begin with.

IIRC the old kind of contact card (pre-smartphone contacts) does not translate to new devices.
Although this might just be related to the iphone not supporting it, because my Galaxy S got my old contacts perfectly fine from my 2004 phone.
My other phone is around 3-4 years old, I'll try to find some way to transfer them, and if I can't, it'll be a long night.
I don't see why it wouldn't work then. Phones from that era all use the same file type to store contacts when put on the SIM card.
