Okay, I just bought a cell phone on ebay and put my sim card in and all is fine and dandy except that i cant get the old contacts off of the phone. It tells me I need a security code to delete them and I'm not sure where the contacts from my phone are....Help!!!!

Have you successfully moved the contacts to your new phone, and only need to delete them off the old one?

The security codes are typically something like "00000" or "01234". If you search the phone make and what you need, I bet you can find them listed online.

Then your phone had saved contacts to internal memory, no the SIM card, and you will either need to figure out how to copy them from the internal memory to the SIM card, or bite the bullet and re-enter them manually.

It's also possible that the two phones do not have compatible contact lists. This wouldn't surprise me, actually - cellular manufacturers wouldn't do something that would make it convenient for you to buy a different brand of phone.
