Hi all,

Have a 16Gb iPhone 3Gs.

Am trying to update my numbers on this from my Nokia 6500c and was planning on bluetoothing them across but I can't seem to get them to pair. The nokia can see the iphone and asks for the passcode, put this in but won't pair. When the iphone searches it doesn't even find the nokia.

Any ideas?? Please!!??

    You can only use bluetooth on the Iphone for bluetooth headsets, you can't link it to other handsets.

    Can you not just back them up to sim?

    Thats really annoying!!

    Thanks for you reply and clearing this up for me but is this not really stupid?

    Unfortunately it's different network so can't do via sim.

    Do CPW have a service to sort this? Thats where i got the iphone.

    Its to stop people swapping music, means you have to each download via Itunes rather than sharing.

    I used Mobyko which is free and very useful.
    Check it works on your old phone, then it will upload all of your contact details to a secure section of the Mobyko website.
    Then install the Mobyko app on your iPhone, log in and download all your contacts.

    I was with 3 and managed to swap mine over via sim. Can't remember how I did it but I looked at the forums on the iPhone which told
    me how to do it.
