New to iphone but have some basic questions, please help me

Hi, just got a new iphone and its all complicated for me, can anyone help me here. have had a look around the internet but can't get the answers.

1, is there an application for watching live sky news, BBC news and sky sports

2, can I send the same message to a few people without having to add everyone's name to the sms, on my nokia I could set up groups and just send to that group but can't find that on the iphone

3, is it possible to back my contacts back on to sim, I can copy to phone but can't seem to go the other way.

4, is it possible to make voice calls over wi-fi like I did with my nokia N95 via (voip)

Thank you
Regards Keith

No theres no app for this at the moment

2, can I send the same message to a few people without having to add everyone's name to the sms, on my nokia I could set up groups and just send to that group but can't find that on the iphone

Nope, again as you are doing now you have to add everyone individually

3, is it possible to back my contacts back on to sim, I can copy to phone but can't seem to go the other way.

Nope again no way at present of doing this, as far as Im aware

4, is it possible to make voice calls over wi-fi like I did with my nokia N95 via (voip)

I believe there are some apps to do this, although i cannot remember if the phone needs to be Jailbroken or not.

Thank you
Regards Keith
Hope the above helps

I use Fring or Skype to make calls over Wi-Fi and it works perfect.
