Cellular Phone Forum / Manufacturers / Ericsson / November 2005Nokia to Sony-Ericsson
I have just bought a K750i to replace my Nokia 6310i. But when I stick the SIM in - it can't finds any addresses. Is there some trick to converting the contacts list from Nokia to SonyE? Greetings from Holland Martin >I have just bought a K750i to replace my Nokia 6310i. But when I stick >the SIM in - it can't finds any addresses.

YOu can command your Nokia to copy them into the SIM. or 2). Many Sony-Ericssons don't like using the phone director in the SIM, and require you to copy them into the phone before you can use them. It almost certainly one of those two. It was indeed 1) (that all of your phone list entries are in the phone, not the SIM. You can command your Nokia to copy them into the SIM.) However the Nokia indicated that it couldn't copy all the numbers to the SIM... infact 102 didn't get copied :( I now have half my numbers on the SIm and in the SonyE, but how do I get the other half? > It was indeed 1) (that all of your phone list entries are in the phone, > not the SIM.

Why not use a PC to synchronize the data? Nokia -> PC -> SE 750 As far as I recall there are limits to the length of the names in the phonebook on the SIM card (8 or 10 characters?). The names can be longer in the phone memory. Copying the phone book to the SIM will probably cause truncation of some of the entries. Best regards Jan  Signature** Do not use the reply-to address. It'll end up in the trash can ** Mail me at: janATschledermann.or"REMOVE_THIS"g I have been trying that, but for some reason Bluetooth doesn't want to communicate with my Nokia any more... can I use it very often anyways at a bit confusing. Copy the entries from the Nokia to the SIM, do not "keep original entry" Put SIM in Ericsson and copy from SIM to phone, again not keeping the original. Repeat until you get them all. You may have to do some manual erasing of the SIM after each time you copy to the Ericsson, I can't remember. > It was indeed 1) (that all of your phone list entries are in the phone, > not the SIM.

Greetings from > Holland > > Martin I managed to convert my Nokia 6310i address book to my new SE v600i in minutes using sync software supplied with both phones... I had 150+ contacts in the old phone, all in the phone memory, most contacts having more than one number. I was about to start the laborious process as described below, then thought I'd give the computer a go... I sync'd the Nokia phone to MS Outlook 2003 (using a new contacts folder, so as not to confuse the phone with the probably out of date stuff on the computer), with Nokia's Data Suite, and an Infra Red connection to my laptop. I then sync'd Outlook to the new SE phone, using the SE sync software supplied with the phone, and again the Infra red connection. To my enormous surprise, all my contacts came accross perfectly, with all the correct multiple numbers stored correctly under their names, with the correct symbols (where they correspond). Saved myself hours. Hope this helps someone else, although probably too late for the original poster, sorry! Ben > hmm. yes well.. > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] >> >> Martin |
