factory reset

[hectic]

I want to re-use and old mobile, but first restore to as new state.

Please can someone reassure me that if I use the factory reset it will not wipe the SIM contacts?

Its on a Nokia 6230.

Just being paranoid, not usually a tech gimp.

Many thanks

Provided the contacts are actually stored on the SIM and not in the phone memory then you'll be fine.

Take the sim out of the phone and re-set it.

google is you friend.

try this:

Full Reset: (clears everything off the phone memory!! Be sure to back up your contacts!!): *#7370#, 12345 and then Yes.

Soft Reset: *#7780#, 12345 and then Yes. (Also works on Nokia S40 phones, NOTE: On the 6230/6230b, same as going to the Factory Reset option under Settings!!

PH massive comes through as normal.

BTW: Did google, but SIM vulnerability was not explicit.

Thanks all.
