![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | can't you store it on the memory card? then use a card reader to put the contacts on your comp and put it on another memory card if the G2 uses a different type?

![]() | insert new sim in old phone, and transfer numbers to sim. or transfer numbers to old sim, put into old phone, and transfer numbers from old sim to new phone. |

![]() ![]() ![]() | Re: Transferring contacts from my Viewty to my G2You can put your new sim in your old phone. I was able to do that going from o2 to Orange. The only problem I had was that the names got truncated, and I lost email addresses and additional numbers if they were stored in the phone. If you can back up to your memory card, then it'll save a vcf contact card. You can then open this using Outlook, edit it, and put it on the memory card of your g2 then import your contacts. It's a bit fiddly though.

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Depends if the handset is networked locked. You'll have major issues if it is.
