Update : Starting iPhone firmware 2.0, Apple solved the SIM import issue by neatly integrating into the iPhone officially! Look for the option under Settings -> Mail, Contacts, Calendar -> Import SIM Contacts
Apple did a terrible job with SIM contacts – why wasn’t it not implemented when an independent developer can release that for free! Anyways, Apple did a great job with iPhone sans installer. Till SIMport was released, the only option we had to import SIM contacts were to either use an other phone – > Upload contacts Yahoo! Go/GooSync Contacts and so on… all of them needed another phone to do so but not anymore. You can now import SIM contacts to your iPhone just like that!! Insert the new sim in your iPhone, activate it using iNDependence/iBrickr/iDemocracy in case it reports for a foreign SIM!
How do we install it??
Launch installer.app and look for iFon International packages. If it is not found, go to sources(top right) -> add source -> install.ifon.no and save!! Now you should be able to install SIMport. You are all set now 🙂
Update : A new shinier looking app (iSIM) for doing pretty much like SIMport was released recently. Though GUI and automation is good in this app – steer away from it unless you have some bucks to spare! It ain’t free. SIMport is the way to go!!
how do i download it
With recent firmware for iPhone, Apple implemented the SIM importing natively. Go to settings…

how do you transfer you contacts of your iphone to your sim card? As i have now got a blackberry and need my contacts of my iphone 3G ?
Your best bet would be to use Google Sync for Blackberry, send the contacts over to Google's server and then sync them back to your iPhone using Google sync (setting up Google account on iPhone) for iPhone.
dumbasses…..the question being asked is HOW TO TRANSFER CONTACTS FROM IPHONE TO THE SIM? AGAIN FROM THE IPHONE TO THE SIM? Importing contacts from SIM have been done and implemented a long time ago, retards !
The title says contacts from SIM to iPhone. If you want to transfer from iPhone to SIM, you could have asked for it in a nicer way!
Did you read anything above you? You are clearly the dumbass. The question is HOW DO I GET CONTACTS FROM THE SIM TO THE PHONE… dumbass
