Preliminary information
Before getting to the heart of this tutorial on how to see if the numbers are saved on the SIM from iPhone, I want to reiterate that, by default, the Apple smartphone does not save the phonebook contacts on the SIM, nor does it automatically transfer them to the Contacts app.
The phone numbers added to the iPhone phonebook (the app Contacts iOS), they are saved locally or, if you connect an iCloud account to the iPhone, they are synchronized online with Apple's cloud storage service (free up to 5GB of space, then for a fee, with prices starting from 0,99, XNUMX € / month). Alternatively, you can also set up a different cloud service for address book synchronization, such as gmael.
That said, since all the contacts of the app Contacts are not on the SIM, through the iPhone it is not possible to check exactly if there are any numbers left on the SIM that need to be imported to the device or to the cloud. At the time of writing this guide, the only solution you can put in place, to make sure that all SIM contacts are imported to one of the cloud accounts associated with iOS, is to implement the procedure for importing them. from the SIM.
How? Follow the instructions that I well give you in detael in the next chapter of the guide and you well find out: it really is a breeze.
