I dropped my Nokia phone and now it is no-more. I can hear the keys registering when I press them but the screen doesn't light up. I bought a new phone from Tesco and they said that I could just transfer the sim card. I thought that this meant that all my details ie phone numbers and messages would be transferred over. My phone number has stayed the same but don't seem to have any other details. Should the information be transferred automatically?
Details can be stored in the handset or on the SIM card. If the display is working it is easy to copy from one to the other. Sounds like you were keeping details in the handset. Going to be difficult to copy that to the SIM card without a working display. Maybe a mobile seller workshop/techie can help ? Try the shops/stalls.
It might be possible to find a PC programme that allows you to connect to the old handset and download the details; then connect to the new handset and upload them there. The shop should know.
