The sim card does not load any contact info, it is all stored in the iPhones flash memory. All you can do is load it from your computer by doing a sync.

You cannot do this like you did on your Sony. The only way is to get software to sync your existing contacts to Outlook or some other program, and then sync your iphone.

i called into cingular now at&t about that.

rep tells me that contacts on sim will not load up. you will have to manually input contacts on iphone. or , as stated previously , sync by outlook or address book .

i had to enter nearly a hundred contacts, i left some out because well they are not needed.

hope that helps,
KT

You can't. iPhone will only read the contacts from your Outlook or Windows Mail accounts if you're on a PC and Mac Mail if you're on a Mac. The only other way to add contacts is by keying them individually.

There is a program on installer (if you're jailbroken) called iSIM that will supposedly import/export from/to your SIM card. I haven't tried it.
