NO.. all the sim card does is store phone numbers and your 'ID'.. you need to transfer ringtones/screensavers over by bluetooth,infrared, or media message... good luck..x

If they are the same yes , but be aware that any downloads are not stored on the sim card only phone book and photos etc. As long as they have been stored to sim not phone.Try it and see.

.Your phone book will be transfers via your Sim card. All the other information will me stored in your phones memory/memory card. You can transfer this information using various methods such as blue tooth or a data transfer cable
Bare in mind, most new phones are locked to the network, so the phone would have to be on the same network.

It should work unless the Sim card is damaged. The service is connected to the Sim card not the phone. I had a Sim card that was damaged that did not transfer all of this information but when I spoke to T-mobile, they told me that if it was not damaged then all of the information would transfer.

No it will not transfare the information over ! the Sim card store`s only phone book information and some messages if you saved them to Sim ! stuff like pictures / ring-tone`s / video`s are stored to the memory card if your phone has one fitted if not then it is stored to the phone itself ! you can trans-fare them by bluetooth if your phone has that fitted ! but definitely not the Sim .

No. Your sim card does not store files containing the downloads, it only contains information about your phone service allowing you to make calls.

If you're not sure, the easiest thing to do would be to transfer the the pics/videos to your new phone via bluetooth or infa red.

yes as long as its the same size card, there are 2 sizes now. Mini SD card and Micro SD card, so as long as your new phone supports the same type of card, you can transfer all your ringtones, etc.
