bee505r Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 I recently got the new iPhone 4 but it doesn't have my contacts and old text messages etc. I previously had the iPhone 3gs. When I upgraded my iphone 3gs to iphone 4 they gave me a new sim card but it was basically a replica of my old sim card (eg.same number). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vice Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 I'm pretty sure the text messages and phonebook can be backed up to your PC using iTunes and then restored to your iPhone 4 when you sync that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ironman273 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Yup, you need to do a backup of the 3GS and then restore it to the 4 using iTunes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides,there is a article about How to transfer contacts from iPhone to iTunes, which can help you transfer data from iPhone. Good Luck. all you should have dne was backup the 3gs and then setup the new iphone 4 as the old iphone as itunes stores all this info and not the sim card.

amada Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 iPhones do not store SMS and Contact data in the sim card. It stores them on the phone itself. To transfer data from your 3Gs to iP4, connect 3Gs ti itunes, right click the device in left panel and choose back up. Then connect iP4 to itunes, right click device and restore from back up.
