Recently got an iPhone? Want to transfer all the contacts from your SIM without the need to sync with iTunes/Outlook? SIMPort, a third party application, eases this process by allowing you to copy all your contacts from your SIM to your phone in one easy step.
How to Import Contacts from your SIM Card to your iPhone
- Launch Installer, click on Sources–>Edit–>Add–>http://install.ifon.no
- Go to Install, then click on the iFon International category. Install SIMPort (don’t worry, it’s in another language)
- Launch SIMport and follow the instructions.
The cool thing about SIMport is that it’s fast, easy, and free. There is another program too, called iSIM that was recently released, with a similar GUI and easy use. However the demo version only allows you to transfer one contact at a time–you need to pay to upgrade.

Every now and then, we check the prices on eBay for iPhones in Australia. They've been dropping from $1200 down to an average of $650 now, which is good for those who want to get a hold of one.
In the last two weeks, we've noticed a few peculiar 'Buy it Now' listings, with iPhones as cheap as $300AUD offering nothing more but the unit itself (no charger, cable, box) - obviously signs of a iPhone that has been found or even stolen.
So what can you do to protect yourself? Until firmware 2.0 comes out, which has a feature to remote wipe your iPhone, you can start off by writing down your IMEI and Serial Number (on the back of the iPhone). If it ever gets lost/stolen, you can get the IMEI blocked through your carrier. With a serial number, you can check by asking eBay sellers [with a dodgy listing] what the serial number is, and can report it to eBay. To be more secure, use a PIN code for your SIM card, and an unlock code for your iPhone. Better safe than sorry! |

Facebook has been testing a new instant messaging service and will be launching it to the public soon, perhaps in the next week.
The service will be built into user’s Facebook pages and allow them to web chat with their Facebook friends. We’ve also heard that, like Gtalk, it will be built on the Jabber open source platform, allowing users to add the service to many popular Instant messaging clients like Trillian (Windows) and Adium (Mac).
But for iPhone Safari? Will it work? We doubt it - with the lack of any real browser support, it seems that sticking with the 3rd party applications for now is the best choice. |
