O.P. Dodgy  Getting a number off a phone with no screen
I recently smashed the screen on my nokia 6020, so i went out and got a new phone, stuck my sim card in it, then found out that all the numbers where saved on the phone. And now im kinda stuck with no numbers, and i need one of the numbers by tonight otherwise i can't get to my work exp tomorow :sad:

So i thought i'd post here to see if anyone has any ideas on how to get my numbers.
I was thinking maybe if someone with the same phone could post some step by step instructions for how to export all the contacts to the sim (remember i have no screen so they need to be REALLY simple, e.g. press the left button once, scroll down x times)

If anyone could help i would really appreciate it :)

Anyone with a Nokia should be able to help.  The only different part is prob actually getting to the phonebook.  After that should be the same.
My phones Symbian, I don't think the 6020 is so I can't help though.

The phonebook is usually accessible from a computer, if you have the data cable and software for your phone.  I think that would be your best bet.

how are you going to get the number if the screen is broke? ok someone gives you instructions to the phonebook or whatever... but its not like you'll be able to see the number:S

All sony erricssons can do it if you know where it is;)
What model did you have? And if you want M73A I can get the menu up for you ;)

And plik it depends on how you have set the phone up ;)
