Trouble:
I had to move my contacts from my old Nokia Phone into my new Apple iPhone. To do the same, there are a few methods I could use. In this article I will share the two easy methods and with which you can transfer contacts from Nokia Phone to Apple iPhone.
There are two methods one which involves copying from SIM, without using a computer, the other method involves using Nokia PC Suite, Microsoft Outlook and Apple iTunes Software.
Fix:
Without Using Computer
For transferring contacts without using computer, you need to copy all your phone contacts to your SIM from a Nokia Mobile. Insert the SIM that you want to use with Apple iPhone into your Nokia Phone. On your Nokia mobile, go to
Menu > Contacts > Options > Copy > All Contacts > Keep Original
This will start copying of Nokia Phone Contacts into your SIM card. Once it is finished copying, Insert this SIM card back into the Apple iPhone. On Apple iPhone go to
Home > Settings > Mail,Contacts,Calendar > Import SIM Contacts
and your iPhone will copy all the contacts on the SIM that you have put on it from Nokia mobile. That is all, simple, isn’t it?
Using Outlook , Nokia PC Suite and iTunes
For geeks who keep all their phones synced and wan to do it in a sophisticated way, here is the method. You need to Install Nokia PC suite and connect your Nokia Phone to your computer using data cable / Bluetooth or wi-fi, whatever way it allows you to.
if you face problem in connecting phone to Nokia PC suite, see this article:

Select To Memory Card
Connect the Nokia to your Mac using the USB cable and select the Mass Storage on the Nokia
Using Finder, select the Nokia phone and open the Contacts Folder which should be in the Folder Others
