How come contacts that were stored in my sim card don't automatically show up on the iPhone like they do in everey other phone (that I know of at least). Is there any way to do that, or do I manually have to enter them in one by one?

if you would do a search u would see that this has been mentioned many times..no sim contacts cannot be copied to the iphone normally..but there is an app called simport in the installer app that allows for contacts to be copied..if u need further info..use the search..simple..good luck

Hi, if somebody is interested, there is such an application available on the installer, actually
