As soon as you insert your sim card and the contacts are visible you can go toPhone>Menu>Import/Export ContactsAnd import all contacts from SIM card that way your sim card contacts will be in your phone.
Do you really need a micro sim adapter to put a nano sim card into a Samsung Galaxy S3?
You do not need a SIM adapter to make a nano SIM card work in a micro SIM slot. However, I would definitely recommend it.If we look at some of the dimensions of the different sim cards we can see why:Source: www.te.comFrom the graphic we can already see that a nano SIM will have around 2.7 mm more slack on the long axis and around 3.2 mm on the short axis. It's also a bit thinner, but most connectors have 'springy' contact points, so I'm not going to address that here.In the most generous case, the six relevant contact points have dimensions of around 4 mm in length and a width or around 2.8 mm. If we assume that the connector makes contact in the middle of each SIM contact, that leaves us with around 2 mm of wiggle room along the long axis and 1.4mm along the short axis, where the SIM card will connect correctly. That's quite a bit less than the micro SIM slot allows! Additionally, in the worst case, SIM contact patches have the dimensions of 2 x 1.7 mm[1].So, as you can see; the amount of wiggle room a nano SIM card has in a micro SIM card slot is more than the size of the contact patches allow. If the contact patches and connector points become misaligned, your phone will likely not connect to the network anymore, because it won't be able to read the SIM's unique identifier needed to access your provider's network. In the worst case, it could corrupt (some) data on your SIM card if data was being written to your SIM card while the SIM became misaligned.If you really don't want to spend any money on an adapter, you can always cutout one from an old bank pas, or similar plastic card and use that to keep the nano SIM locked in place.Source: www.aliexpress.comFootnotes[1] All you need to know about nano SIMs - before they are EXTERMINATED
What is the purpose of a SIM card? What information does it hold? I was told it contained internet history, contacts, etc. Is this correct?
SIM - Subscriber identification module is basically a Chip which contains Some information to handshake Mobile Device with Telecom OperatorSIM Doesn’t Not hold your Call Log information, Internet Browsing History, Call Duration.What information is STORED in SIM(SIM) is an integrated circuit chip that is intended to securely store the1. International mobile subscriber identity (IMSI) number. This Changes you do MNP2. Mobile number (MS-ISDN). Remains same if you Do MNP3. Authentication key, which are used to identify and authenticate subscribers4. It is also possible to store contacts on many SIM cards. such as contact list data and SMS messages. Most SIM cards have a capacity between 32 to 256 KB.5. SIM cards are always used on GSM phones(2G/3G) and 4G (USIM)6. SIM also contains Temporary information related to the local network ( in in the form of LAI), a list of the services the user has access to, and two passwords: a personal identification number (PIN) for ordinary use, and a personal unblocking code (PUK) for PIN unlocking.7. SIM card also conatains SMSC Center informations which burnt by Telecom Operator before it is Handed over to you.LAI : When the Subscriber Changes locations, it stores the new LAI to the SIM and sends it back to the operator network with its new location. If the device is power cycled, it will take data off the SIM, and search for the prior LAI.Type of SIMSIM cards have been made smaller over the years; functionality is independent of format.Full-size SIM were followed by mini-SIMmicro-SIM,nano-SIM.SIM cards are also made to be embedded in devices.SIMs for Machine2 Machine applications are available in a surface mount SON-8 package which may be soldered directly onto a circuit board. In future you Devices will be contacting each other due this e.gYour Refrigerator will Inform Shopping Mall That Vegetable are required in refrigeratorPlants will information Water Resovior that it needs water supplyYour home Solor plant will inform city Electrical board that you have surplus electricity to sell /charity.SIM Chip Information
How do i edit the contacts on Samsung Galaxy S5?
I got the Samsung Galaxy S5 the day it came out, but my contacts never synced up. So i decided to just put them in myself. but if i want to add a contact photo it doesn't show the contacts. I go to the photo i want to put as the contact picture, tap set as... tap contact photo. then when i takes me to the list of contacts to select for the picture, it only shows the Free T-Mobile SMS for VVM contact. So then i tried to add the picture through the contact. So i go to the Contact and tap the edit icon. Then it takes me to where i can only edit the Name, Phone Number and Email. So if you have an S5 or know what i am doing wrong, please help.
How do I locate my phone if it is turned off?
Firstly, the telecom companies that uses the IVR service (a lady that tells you the phone is switched off) has a bug at most times.If the sim card number you are trying to reach is NOT in the phone the IVR should say that the number is unreachable. And if the sim card is present in the phone but the phone is switched off only then it should say that it is switched off.The bug, at most times, tells you that the number is switched off even when the sim card is not in the phone..So to answer your question, the mobile phone can only be located when the sim card is in the phone.And unless you have a professional tracking software, you need the police and their tracking service to do that. Apart from iPhone though which has the ‘Find my Phone’ service which can be used by using any other iPhone to find your missing one.In case you have your phone with you :

If a phone does half a ring then goes to voicemail what does this mean?
duh how do you press ignore on a cell phone...? I mean really... which button is that? Seriously if the call didn't even ring a full ring before heading straight to voice mail. more than likely the user turned the phone off, and it just took the cell system a second to realize the phone wasn't logged on. Every time you turn your phone on, it logs into the cell system and sends a data burst out- the electronic equivalent of " Hello out there, this is John's phone, I am a Sprint client from Columbus, Ohio! this is my system ID, my serial number, and my telephone number!" To which the nearest cell phone towers hear this, and talk to each other - "Downtown, I have john's phone at a signal 5," "Downtown, this is east side, I have john's phone at signal 3" "Downtown, this is west side, I have John's phone at a signal 9" "West side, this is Downtown, go ahead and take John's phone.." This all takes place in a second or so, about as long as it takes for your cell to wake up and give you that happy little login message you see when you first turn it on. Then every so often as long as the phone is on, it 'pings' the network, which then updates the the new location of john's phone... This info is how your navigation and GPS work, and it's also what makes voicemail work... if someone calls you, then system finds the phone and local tower sends a ring tone to your phone, with caller ID info, and thats how your ringtones know who is calling. If the phone is off, then the system doesn't find you, and it rolls right to voicemail, and that message is stored on a computer hard drive somewhere until the phone is turned back on.

Do you get charged minutes for incoming calls with a Tracfone?
We are thinking of getting my HTB one of those prepaid cellular phones for a bit while we save up to get him on a regular contracted plan. I am talking about the ones you buy at like Target and then get the cards with the minutes on them.
