Transferring numbers

nick23

I just bought the 6280 on 3 and my old network was o2.
I want to swap my numbers over to my new phone but i cant just swap the sims over because the 6280 is locked to 3.

Anyone know of anyway i can transfer them over without actually manually going through ever single number and copying them over?

If you know anybody with an unlocked phone, copy your numbers to dat phone then copy them back to the new sim card. Might have do delete a lot of numbers after you transfer them but a lot quicker than inputing each one.

depending on what old phone you had, you should be able to upload names and numbers from the old phone to your PC using the PC Suite, then upload these numbers from the PC to the new phone.

Elites - i do want to keep my old number but what exactly do i do? Just fill in that form they give you with the phone and send it off?

3 quote about 3 days don't they? As you gotta post forms into them ...

With the other networks it's usually 2 hours

in the shop the sales assistant can fax off the form and its done faster

Why didnt you Port your old number to the 3 network? you keep your number!

and to get the old names:

Get your o2 sim card, stick in a sim free phone, and copy names to the phones memory, then get the 3 SIM and stick in said phone, and copy from phone to SIM. and voila.

our survey says ehh, ehh. 3 sims don't work in normal phones. it'd have to be a 3g phone
