Question 1

I have an old, basic phone and want to copy all my texts to my computer and save my all my contacts for easy transer. Will this &w/ no extra software?

Accepted Answer

It will depend on if you phone uses the SIM memory to store contacts and text messages or the phone internal memory.  "Old basic" phones usually depended on the SIM memory and there is a good chance that your data is held on the SIM and in that case this reader will give you access to the data.  In most cases, phones today have large internal memory allocated to text messages and contact data and all that information is stored locally on the phone and not the SIM card.  In that case the SIM card will only contain network and roaming information.

Question 2

Hello, does this work for Samsung Galaxy Note 4?

Accepted Answer

It works by reading the SIM card directly.  You put your SIM card in the reader, make your changes, and return the SIM card to your phone.  The reader (and writer) is independent of the phone.  It works only if you keep your phone numbers on the the SIM card.  I transferred my T-Mobile to Go SIM card from our Motorola V551 phones to our Android CAT B15 phone.  The contacts were on the SIM card.  Has worked OK for two plus years.

Question 3

Will the device read, copy, & trasnfer contacts from all sim cards--regular, micro & nano--back and forth from card to card, or only via a computer?

Accepted Answer

It does that via the computer. First you read the "source" card into the program, then you put your "target" card into the reader and write the data to it.

Question 4

Is the 20 Digit SIM card number easy to extract using this device? I'm looking for a fast way to pull SIM numbers for a few hundred cards

Accepted Answer
