ifone contacts prob

flutered

on my ancient iphone2 i cannot enter contacts names as that part of the screen is unresponsive, the rest of it is perfect, is there any way i can get it to read the contacts from the sim card, or possibly transfer the contacts from the sim to the fone, i am very tech inept, thanks in advance for your assistance.

Click on the settings icon. Scroll down to 'Mail, Contacts, Calandars' and then select 'Import SIM Contacts'. That should do it for you. Not sure if it will be exactly the same as you have an old version of iOS running on your phone.

Oh and btw its 'iPhone'

i am out of luck, contacts has two options, ie sort order and display order, thanks for trying.

Find out what version of iOS your on. It's usually found by going into Settings>General>About

04.05.04_g, hopefully you can help, i would hate to have to dump it.

No it's more like 2.1.3 or 3.1.3 or something along those lines. Maybe under the 'Version' section.

version 3.0 (7a341), could this be it.

I just checked and in 3.0 the 'Import To Sim' button should be in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calandars just like I said. Are you sure it's not there? SIM card has to be in the iPhone as well obviously.
