Hi Gary
I would not recommend using a Sim card to synchronise contacts between devices;
Sim cards can hold a very limited amount of information and contacts stored on
modern smartphones do not synchronise well this way due to the large amount of
information you can store on each contact card. The best way to transfer
contacts from your Nokia devices is via Outlook and iTunes. Simply export your
contacts to a memory card and then import them into Outlook. You can then
instruct iTunes to export contacts from Outlook and synchronise them with your
iPhone eat and every time you connect your device. Good luck and please let us
know if you need further help.
