Hi Jackie, I didn't realise you could transfer text messages across! Shame, as It's very tedious sending them from one phone to the other, and a mite costlier than a direct transfer. Thanks for the info, Mike -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Jackie Cairns Sent: 02 May 2008 16:06 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: Transferring numbers Hi Mandy I don't use the SIM card to back my contacts up because it clips the details. So what I do is copy contacts either through Bluetooth as Carol suggests, or using the Data Transfer tool. If you use the Data Transfer Tool between two Nokia phones, it's very easy to send the contacts,, text messages, calendar entries and notes across in this way. For example, I have a jokes folder which I sometimes back up on my other phone. I simply link the two phones together using the Data Transfer Tool, and the second phone has the jokes folder updated. It doesn't duplicate the jokes that are already in the folder, it just adds those that weren't there before. I would imagine this would work with your man's contacts in the same way. I hope that helps. Jackie Email: cairnsplace@xxxxxxx Skype Name: Cairnsplace ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mandy Palmer" <Mandy.Palmer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: "Access-Uk@Freelists.
