    Transfer texts and numbers from one phone to another

    Arn't mother in laws great?

    My mum in law just popped round with a new phone and asked some questions I don't know the answer to.

    She got a new phone from Tesco and it has a new sim in it which is same phone number as her old Tesco pay as you go.

    Her new phone is working OK but she wants to transfer her phone numbers and all her 'jokes' which I assume are in stored texts on her old phone

    There is nothing very sophisticated about the phones

    The old one is a Nokia 6070
    The new one is a Doro 6520

    She thought all the data would be on the old sim (I told her this may well not be the case) but she found that the old sim will not physically fit in the new phone. I pointed out that even if it did fit this would not really help her as the old sim is now deactivated so she would not be able to make or receive calls.

    I also pointed out if she had a 'proper' phone in the first place then she would not be having this problem right now.....but that didn't really go down very well

    But mum in laws being mum in laws she asked me if I could come up with something useful to say.... which I must admit I don't have the knowledge to advise any further, so I though best bet was to ask you guys if this can be done and how

    Both phones have cameras so there must be some way to conenct them to a computer at least.

    Cheers

    You can connect the Nokia through a compatible Nokia USB cable or through Bluetooth to a Laptop .

        No Dicky96 , That's only for connecting the Nokia to a computer or Laptop as you wondered in the last lines . She will have to copy the numbers and texts visually from the old sim card . It will on and say "Sim card failed to register " or "only emergency calls" , but she can access all the other functions ..

        Good luck ...

          Go back to the place where she got her phone. They should be able to transfer all her names and numbers.

              Help with trying to fix phone that is not charging (Pics inside)
              by SluggerB
              I have two TCL A30 phones.

              Old Phone: This phone worked fine for years, then stopped charging If you plugged a charger into it, the phone would make the charging sound, the phone would tell you it is charging, but the battery icon would not have the charging symbol in it and the battery would not charge.I tried new battery, same behavior.

              New Phone: Works fine, bought as a donor board to try and repair Old Phone

              My interest here is to repair Old Phone, using components parts off New Phone if needed. I am not interested in replacing Old Phone with New Phone....

              new OS on a Sonim XP5s phone
              by keeney123
              To you programmers out there I want to know if it is possible to put a new OS on the Sonim XP5s phone? I only need this phone to make calls, receive calls, have a list of contacts and be able to call voice mail.
              I bought this phone new Sep.2021 as an unlock phone from a third-party seller. The phone worked fine until Jan 2022. I then had intermittent problems with the sound setting resetting itself. One of the settings, outdoor, would go to silent all by itself. When in silent mode it does not indicate a call has come in. I missed very important phone calls. All the other setting in sound...

              Help with Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime phone
              by mikey5791
              Hi all,
              Got this smart phone free from a guy who dropped it hard until the lcd display cracked with no seen display.
              Opened it and found the display ribbon cable partly damaged. I charged the phone full in 2 hours time, the led red light turns to green indicate full charge.
              Then i use a usb cable connect the phone to laptop but it only showed as media player with firmware version. Too bad there is no option to check folder.

              Does anyone know any method to check if the phone is working good? Looking forward for any advice and help possible.
              If tested the...

              Cisco IP phone F-up
              by Dannyx
              Good day folks. I had a little f-up over at my new shop today and it made me pretty angry, but at the same time it determined me to try and figure out what could've happened there. This is only going to be a speculative discussion since I don't know the exact layout of our network, hence I don't know what's going on past our room. So:

              The repair shop where I sit is situated in a remote building down the street from the main building. There's a Cisco IP phone in this room, a 7911, like the rest of the company uses. There's obviously some sort of networking going on between the two...

              Tivo HD will not transfer files ....
              by SluggerB
              Not sure where to post this, thought this might be the best place

              Tivo setup:
              Tivo 1 - Tivo HD, Monthly service (ancient, over 10 years old)
              Tivo 2 - Tivo HD, Monthly service (ancient, over 10 years old)
              Tivo 3 - Tivo HD XL, eBay Tivo with Lifetime service (newer but still old)

              Yes I am the idiot that paid monthly for all these years. I found a broken Tivo HD XL with lifetime service on eBay for $40 (Tivo 3), I bought it, it was a bad power supply, I re-capped it, good as new. So the plan was to cancel Tivo 1 and use Tivo 3 in it's stead. So I...
