Phone contacts lost Sony Ericsson help!?

Question

Hi. Bumbling along with my little knowledge of all things technological I tried to transfer my SIM card from my Sony Ericsson W810i to the Sony Ericsson C902 phone. I couldn't find my text messages so I put my old SIM card back in the W810i. Many of my contacts now seem to have disappeared!!! Is there any way of getting them back? Also how can I transfer my old texts to the new phone? Please help! Thanks.

Answer 1

Your contacts have been saved to the phone memory and not to the memory card. Try putting the SIM card back into the W810i and going to your contact list. Once there you will find the option to save the contact list to your SIM card. Just save them and then you can transfer the SIM card to your C902 phone and your contact list will appear there.

Answer 2

This is strange dear... first time i am listening this problem that the contacts have been disappeared from the sim card memory. I think the only solution is that you contact the network service provider and tell the issue in detail... they will be having any solution for this ....

Answer 3

I don't suppose you did a phone back up on the SE PC Suite? If not it might be a good idea if you do this in the future. Are you sure all the numbers are stored on the sim and they havent stayed on the phone memory?

Hope you sort it out

hi whats happened to your text messages is that they are alll stored on your w810i phone memory so they will stay on the phone !

now to your contacts what you need to do is put the sim in your new phone then go into the contacts bit in the menu & click on the address book then when you get in the address book none of your no.s will be displayed so press options & you should see a bit for advanced click on that then select copy from sim & all your phone no.s from your sim card will be copied into the phones memory & you should be able to retrieve all your no.s so when you go into your address book in the phone all your no.s will appear .... hope this helps you ! if you do get any problems feel free to email me & will try & help you
