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.

Hadn't noticed this until today. Although my call register displayed received numbers as the correct contact name, SMS's I received were not. :( They were coming through with the country code up front. This is a major issue as I receive many SMS's each day. But have no fear..there is a solution. Just follow these steps. - Download the required patch files by clicking here or here.
- Create a directory named "Support" in the /System/Library/Frameworks/AppSupport.framework/ directory on your iPhone.
- Copy the "AppSupport" and "AppSupport.original" files from the zip file to the /System/Library/Frameworks/AppSupport.framework/ directory on your iPhone.
- Copy the "PhoneNumber.dylib" and "PhoneNumberTemplates.txt" files from the zip file to the /System/Library/Frameworks/AppSupport.framework/Support/ directory on your iPhone.
- Optimize the "PhoneNumberTemplates.txt" file on your iPhone by moving all templates for your country to the top of the file and/or removing templates for countries that you don't need.
- Reboot iPhone.
This is confirmed working on both my iPhones. |

Did you really click update on iTunes when it promised you a brand new shiny update?
Oh no.
Your iPhone is now blocked due to the change in firmware and bootloader. The latest release by Apple, firmware 1.1.3 (04.03) updates your iPhone and makes it much harder to unlock. If you accidentally updated, there is not much you can do now unfortunately. The term used by the iPhone community is that your iPhone is 'bricked'. At the current time, there is a slim chance that your iPhone will ever make a call again or receive SMS as the hacking community has slowed down until the release of the SDK (Software Development Kit) in February. The only option you do have is to downgrade your iPhone as an iPod Touch and use it as one.
We're receiving dozens and dozens of e-mails every hour about iPhones accidentally updated to 1.1.3 - please don't send any more - there is nothing that anyone out there can help you with making it a functional iPhone... for now anyway. |

SMS received from internet is scrambled/not working?
From iphone.unlock.no: For some ridiculous reason, Apple did not add real support for the SMS standard. The result is that SMS sent with a alphanumeric/non standard number will either not be recieved at all or the text will get scrambled as shown on the screenshot below. This bug may even damage the SMS database on your phone. It took Apple some time, but in 1.1.2 it's finally fixed, so we can just use the phone application from 1.1.2 on 1.1.1 (1.0.2 or older is not supported currently).
How to fix the SMS problem easily:
1. Open installer, and tap Sources, Edit and Add.
2. Type in http://i.unlock.no/ and Ok then Done.
3. Now tap on Install at the bottom and scroll down to the Unlocking Tools category
4. Install SMS Fix
5. When done installing, reboot your phone and it should work
You can now receive SMSs from NetBank and other online banking services, Australia Post's postal notification service as well as voicemail notifications from your service provider!
