How do I move icons on iphone from page to page?

Question

Ok, on the iphone, I know how to move the icons around and delete them, my problem is that I have about 5 pages of icons, and all are half full. I want to consolidate them to 2-3 scrolling pages of icons, and re-order them at the same time, problem is I can only seem to move things around on the page they are already on, not to a new one.I can't seem to drag the icons from one page to another, only rearrange them on the page they are on. Help!

Answer 2

To change the icons from page to page you need to slide it to the very edge of the side you wish to transfer them to. For example, if you want to put an icon on a page to the left, grab the icon and hold it against the side for a moment, it will slide over onto the next page. Sometimes it doesn't always work right away, you'll have to hold it there for a moment and it should change.

Hope this helped.

You can also just hold your finger on an icon till they all start to wiggle, then drag the icon over to the new screen.  Press the home button on the bottom to set them and stop the crazy wiggling.
