My mom is with Cingular and she had to get a new phone because her other one was tearing up and she was getting a strong signal. Well, she has a new phone which is a Motorola LG and it came with a new sims card. My question is, she still has her old phone which is a Motorola V6 and her old sims card in it. How can she transfer all of her photos, ringtones, etc. from the old sims card to the new one? If anyone has an in depth solution, please let me know. Now I already know about going up to the company and letting them do it so I don't need that advice and if you can't answer, please don't, only if you know how to do it....thanks!!!

Well, she should be able to use that old SIM card in the new phone. If she does need to activate a new SIM, there is a device that can copy all the info that was on the other SIM, and transfer it to the new SIM: http://www.myworldphone.com/simbackup.htm
It might be good to just have that on hand, and backup the SIM card as needed (when new contacts are added, etc,); that way, you will never be without the information should something happen to the card.
I'm not sure that all the pictures and ringtone will be transferred; in many cases, that kind of data is not saved to the SIM with the contact. It usually depends on the phone model. I assume this old phone does not have a memory card slot that can be used to store the pictures and ringtones? Or perhaps it has Bluetooth to send those files to a computer? I have never heard of the models you provided.
Good luck, though!
