Question
Hi Debi,
My former provider was Sprint from whom I have a Samsung m300 (no SIM card).  I would like to know if there is a way to transfer my contact list to a Motorola W259...with a SIM card.

Is there a way to accomplish this??
Thank you so much...
Toni Venezia

Answer
DataPilot is one of them.

There are many different devices to do this. If you go into Fry's Electronics, for example, and tell them you want to transfer your contacts, they will provide you with the device.

You can use a device that can be purchased at Fry's Electronics or other electronics store to transfer your contacts from your Sprint phone to your new phone. It's not about the SIM card, it's the transfer from one phone to another. If you don't want to buy the device to do this, take your old and new phone to your current carrier and they can do the transfer for you. It's simple and they likely will do it for free or $10.00 at the most.
