Ramond says
i tried the method for import contact from sim card, but still unable to see all my contacts, please share what should i do.
Aman says
Ramond, all you need to do is to sync your previos phone (I used Nokia) to laptop using the software supplied by the manufacturer and then save the contact on laptop at the default location of the software. Use PC companion to upload the contacts to your Sony phone…
Enjoy!!!
