Transfer content

You can use the Switch application to copy content

such as phone numbers, addresses, calendar items,

and images from your previous Nokia device to your

device.
The type of content that can be transferred depends on

the model of the device from which you want to

transfer content. If that device supports

synchronisation, you can also synchronise data

between the devices. Your device notifies you if the

other device is not compatible.

If the other device cannot be switched on without a

SIM card, you can insert your SIM card in it. When your

device is switched on without a SIM card, the Offline

profile is automatically activated, and transfer can be

done.
