Hello as far as i am aware you can not copy your contacts from your sim to your iphone, unless you have a unlocked iphone with installer on it.

You can. Go to:
Settings > Mail/Contacts/Calendar.
Select 'import SIM contacts'

Weill it definately works. Done it on mine and other peoples phone for them as most people dont even realise the option is there. I just did it yesterday again for a friend who just got an iphone on Saturday.

You have put your 02 sim from your iphone into your old phone and copied the contacts to it havent you?

If you then put the 02 sim back in the iphone, go to Settings > Mail/Contacts/Calendar, Select 'import SIM contacts' it will say importing sim contacts. It will take a minute or so if the sim is full.

Thank you nickp8! It does work and you saved me so much time and effort! I was ready to try and hook up simport or input every contact one by one. Im glad I found your post and yes, it definitely works!
