Hi,
About to unlock my mobile as orange contract just expired (think it will perform hard reset), wondering if anyone knows of any easy way to back up all of my numbers on my PC...(apart from a pen and paper). I have a bluetooth dongle but the software included doesn't have this facility. It's a D500.
Thanks
Nick

If you do a hard reset, provided you have all your numbers on your present sim card, you can copy them back on to your phone from the sim card after the reset (before you end your contract) ~ well you can with a Nokia anyway.

Alternatively, you can get buy fairly cheaply sim card back-up thingies (sorry can't think of the proper name) that you can attach to a keyring.

Just seen a SIM backup keyring device at my local Lloyds chemist, Abbey Lane for £1.99!

Thanks, annoyingly I had all my contacts saved in phone, have just manually transferred each to sim... you'd have thought there was a way of doing tthem all at once.. oh well.
Thanks all.

on the nokia u can transfer from phone to sim easliy, then back again with the new sim.
i recieved one of those sim storage devices for crimbo, and they do work surprisingly well.
