If you deactivated your old smart card (also called a SIM card) before you backed up your contact and text message data to your phone, you cannot place the old card back into the device and transfer the data.
Since the smart card is deactivated, the phone will not recognize it. The only method you have for recovering the data stored on the new card is to use a smart card reader so you can transfer your data to your new AT&T smart card.
The difficulty of this task is Moderately Easy.
You will need:
- USB SIM card reader
- Computer with USB connection
Step 1:
Plug your old smart card into the smart card reader and then plug the USB connector into a USB port on your computer.
Step 2:
Select to transfer the data from your old smart card to the computer when the Transfer Wizard appears on your screen.
Step 3:
Unplug the USB connector from your computer and pull the old smart card out of the smart card reader.
Step 4:
Place the new AT&T smart card into the smart card reader and plug the reader into your computer.
Step 5:
Select to transfer the data from your old smart card to the new AT&T smart card when prompted by the pop-up wizard on your screen.
Step 6:
Unplug the USB connector from your computer and pull the new AT&T smart card out of the card reader
