A
SIM card is the thumbnail-sized memory card found inside cell phones
sold by AT&T, T-Mobile, and other carriers with GSM-based cellular
networks. Along with basic information like your phone number, a SIM
can store the names, addresses, and numbers of up to a couple hundred
contacts. If you’re swapping an old SIM into your new Windows Phone,
you’ll probably also want to import any address book info stored on the
card. Luckily, it’s easy to do.
1. Import Contacts
On the Start screen, flick left to the Apps list, and then tap Settings.
Flick to Applications, and then tap People.
Tap Import SIM Contacts.
Tip:
The first time you visit the People hub, Windows Phone asks if you want to import contacts from your SIM card.
Warning:
If you don’t see the Import
SIM Contacts option, it means you don’t have any contacts to import or
your Windows Phone doesn’t have a SIM card inserted.
