Transferring numbers from one phone to another

Im not sure if this should be in the samsung section but heres the situation:

I currently have a samsung e-105, however the lcd screen is broken. I am getting a samsung e-315 as a replacement phone. the e-105 still works its just that you cannot view the internal screen. All of my phone numbers are on the sim card of the e-105, is it possible to get these transferred onto the e315?

If all the numbers are on the SIM Card, then when you get your new phone you can just put the SIM Card in the new phone and should have all your numbers in your phonebook... That's why I love SIM Cards... so easy to switch phones...

If you have your manual for the e-105, you might want to see if there is a step by step instruction page to take you through button by button to make sure all your numbers are on the SIM Card.

Thats exactly why I stored all of my numbers on the sim card.

But will this work if I cancel the plan for the e-105 and start up a new plan for the 315 (for the discount on the phone) while keeping my current number?

I am not so sure about all those discounts... you still pay an activation fee and all that crap, right? So how much did you really save? You should probably find the phone elsewhere online... but I don't know... I asked about this same question in another thread... now I am all confused on how to save money on a new phone!

Well activation fee is paid through the carrier, its $30 i think with tmobile. And then you get the discounts after so many monthes of using the plan in the form of a rebate.

Ive done it before and was very happy with how it worked out (getting a free phone + service plan)

if you cancel the e105 plan and open a new plan with the e315 you will lose your current number and get a new one, also, the sim in your e105 will be deactivated BUT you can still put that sim in your phone to get all the numbers off of by transferring them all in your phone memory, and then back into your new sim that you will get when you activate the new plan. The only thing is that i think samsung makes you copy everything one by one, whereas if you had a t-mobile nokia (or an unlocked one) you can copy it all back and forth in a matter of seconds.. good luck and let us know how you do!

I remember doing it on my samsung E105, a few months ago. i was able to copy all phone# to sim in one shot rather than one by one. Then I put the old sim in the new razr and transferred everything to the phone.
