transfer numbers

Good evening,
I have bought my manager a new mobile not flash just practical.

How can she transfer all numbers contacts etc. from old coal driven Nokia to her new mob apart from keying them in one by one?

Orange is her old provider, Tesco is the new provider, neither mobs are smart phones.

Happy Christmas and new year to you all.

    Simple way is to save all contacts to the sim then when you put it in the new phone they are all there and copy them to the new phone. will work fine if not too many and they are not smart phones


    Sorry just seen your changing networks if the phone is unlocked it will work but not if phone is locked so do you know if its locked or not?
    It's not just about the money
  • locked new network!
  • if you tell us which phones it is then it may be easier to assist
    as most phones come with software

    locked new network!
    Is the old phone unlocked ?
    You could make sure all the contacts are on the phone, put the new sim in the old phone then save to the new sim, following which you can put the new sim in new phone and you have the contacts.

    I have a simple sim card backup device like

    i can backup all contacts on any sim, so if you change sim, you just place it in the backup device and restore all contacts to new sim.
