Extracting contacts from the SIM card to the Centro - Treo Forum

smbsvcs · 08-22-2008, 11:36 AM

I'm new to the Palm OS universe. So get ready for 'dumb question time':

I purchased a Centro for the wife.

We copied all her contacts from her previous cell phone onto her SIM card.

She is now using the Centro as her cell phone.
How do we copy those contacts off of the SIM card and into the Centro memory?

(Thanks for your patience.)

Welcome to Treonauts, smbsvcs!! I'll let one of our AT&T mods field this question, since I don't know much about how data transfer occurs between the SIM card and the device itself. Nonetheless, I did want to welcome you.

Thanks.

I'm confident that I will have many 'dumb questions' due to being new to the Palm OS culture.

I'll second Treo Musketeers welcome Steve! I can't remember now what the procedure is to do this in Palm OS, but I'm sure someone will be along soon who can answer.

Real simple. On your contacts screen, go into the menu and select "Import from SIM".

It just moved all 100 of my contacts in about 30 seconds.

Thanks April Fool 79, I knew it was something pretty easy!

Thanks.

Knew it was a dumb question.

I don't know enough about this OS yet.

The only dumb question is the one you don't ask.

At least, that's what my grandfather always told me.
