Adding and transferring contact
information
There are a number of ways in which telephone
numbers and contacts can be entered and
stored, and there are also a number of ways to
make a phone call. It is therefore important to
be able to transfer those contacts between the
programmes used to make calls.
Places where contacts can be entered into
your phone and stored
• Your SIM card: You can exchange your SIM
card between your phone and other devices;
while using other devices, you can create one
or more new contacts on the SIM card.
• Microsoft Contacts.
• Call History: New contact numbers can be
found in incoming calls or missed calls.
Why transfer numbers?
• In the event you lose your SIM card while
using it in another device, your SIM numbers
will be backed up on to your phone.
• If you want to transfer a number to Speed
Dial, it must be in Contacts, not on the SIM
card.
• If you are using your SIM card in another
device, you may need the numbers stored in
Microsoft Contacts.
• Transferring numbers to Microsoft Contacts
allows you to create more detailed records.
