Moving contacts from old Nokia to new Symbian Nokia?

Asked by HeNkiSdaBro (392points) October 14th, 2008

I want to move my contact from my older Nokia 6100 to my new Nokia E65 which runs Symbian S60v3. I have managed to export all contacts from the old phone inside Oxygen Phone Manager to all kinds of formats like .csv, .txt and .vcf. Nokia PC suite does not accept any of those formats though it says it would. I need help!

You could download Contact Manager for symbian based phones. That’ll leave you import the .csv format.

Thanks for the suggestions. Sadly that program is not supporting S60 3rd gen. phones… like the E65…

You have no way of getting them onto a sim card obviously no?

HeNkiSdaBro's avatar

Well maybe… With my old phone I might be able to transfer them. How can I batch move all the SIM contacts onto the new phone? The PC Suite does not handle the SIM card at all… Is there a function inside the phone that can?

Yeah on the E65 as soon as you enter the contacts for the first while there’s a sim card in the phone it should ask you to transfer them to contacts, you select yes, and it copies them directly to the phone.

Otherwise with the sim in the phone, you can go to Contacts, Options, Sim Contacts, and then select Sim Directory. In there, you go Options, Mark/UnMark, Mark All. Then Options again, and there’ll be an option “Copy to Contacts”. And that should be that then.

Thanks! I found that just now… But even better. Found out that the PC Suite had no problem connecting my old phone via infrared. There I exported all the contacts from that phone and imported them into the new phone via bluetooth. Now I have all contact in the new phone. Thanks for your help, you got me started on the right path!
