are the numbers saved to the phone or to the card. because if you just save them to the card then you wont have to worry about it.

I'm guessing its stored on the phone so there should be an option to "send all contacts" to the new phone via bluetooth/infra red.

Your phone likely has an option to copy all your contacts to the sim card, then when you put your sim card in your new phone the numbers can be copied onto the phone.

Having said that I think there is a limit of the numbers you can store on a SIM, maybe 100 or 200.

Good luck :)

Not sure if you there is a pc suite for the moto razr. So you can put all your contacts on your computer and then with the new phone synch up with your computer and have them all put back on.

Can you connect your phone to the PC?
Either via cable, bluetooth or infra red?
If yes, then just transfer all the contacts to Outlook and then back to your new phone.

Voila.

OR like others suggested...wherever you're buying your new phone from, they'd be happy to transfer your contacts.
However, if someone messes up, you 'may' lose everything so I highly recommend you backup your data yourself.

good luck
