Switching from Android to Windows Phone would be tricky at first. Not only because the OS and the functionality of both the OS are different, but also you have to learn your ways to setup few things. One common thing any Android user would do while switching to Windows Phone would take all the contacts with his / her SIM card. Having all your contacts saved in SIM card allows you to move them easily to Windows Phone. But, unlike, Android, in Windows Phone 8.1 you need to import manually all the contacts from the SIM card. So, today I will be showing you how to import contacts from SIM card in Windows Phone.
If you are an Android or iOS user switching to the Windows Phone, you may need to move all your contacts to the SIM card. Doing so, you will be able to import all your contacts from the SIM card to your Windows Phone easily. So, start with moving your contacts to SIM card using the available options in your smartphone. Every smartphone may have different settings to do the same, so check your phone’s manual to know how to do it.
