Transferring Sim Card To A New Phone

I have just purchased a Nokia 7230, however when I add my current Sim card from my 6230i it fails to transfer over any of the pictures, ring tones or text messages and only part of the phone-book is copied over.

Is it at all possible to rectify this so that everything is copied onto the new phone?

Thanks in advance.

    Only the phone numbers that have been saved to sim will transfer over. You could use your pc to transfer files between the 2 or bluetooth which may be a bit slow

    Thanks, I've managed to save all phone numbers to the Sim card, is there any way of transferring the text messages and one ring tone to the Sim card as well?

    connect the old phone via cable/bluetooth/infra red , theres an option with a safe for the icon , choose back up from there, reverse to the new phone
