• The usual full.size card was inserted into the first three gadgets: iPhone, iPhone 3G; iPhone 3GS.
• Micro SIM card was used only in the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4s;
• Starting with the iPhone 5 and iPhone 5s, the developers began to introduce nano SIM card. To date, both in the iPhone 7, and in the iPhone X, and in the devices between them, are just such cards.

If the card from which you need to transfer the data does not fit the slot of the new smartphone, it needs to be cut. We recommend doing this in the nearest communication salon. If you carefully study the material, you can try to trim at home, but be careful. If you spoil the plastic, the contacts will be irrevocably lost.

SIM data transfer to iPhone

To transfer data to the iPhone, it is enough to do the following:

• Remove the lock if you have already managed to put it on the iPhone, and proceed to the settings of the device.
• Scroll down the tabs until you come across the “mail and addresses”, go to the subsection.
• Scroll again until you reach the telephone numbers and the menu should have such a button as “importing information from SIM card on iPhone”.

If you have problems with how copied contacts from the SIM card on the iPhone are preserved, then you should contact the Support Apple. You will be offered to dictate your IMEI. If the phone is not from a defective batch, then the use of third.party cloud storage facilities for transferring data remains.

For the Android system, an additional standard export/import method is synchronization with Google services. This action allows you to transfer the data of the address book of the mobile phone inside the “Cloud”. Then return similarly back.
