Someone called me, and I didn't have that number, I wanted to save it to existing contact, but when I clicked on save to existing contact, none of my sim contacts appeared. There wasn't a way to get to it either. I load all my contacts directly from my sim. Is there a way to move sim contacts to phone? or save current number to existing sim contact?
thanks.

Go to "Start/Tools/SIM Manager
The program SIM Manager is what you are looking for. (May not be in this exact directory but it shouldn't be to hard to fine. If not installed then just search for it here or on google)
When adding contacts from a call in that manner....it defaults to your phone...not your SIM
You CAN move all your contacts from the SIM to the phone by using the program listed above. Also you can use that same program to move them all back to you SIM if you so choose.

how do i move my contacts from my sim card to my phone memory. im using contact breeze and i cant get it to recognize contacts on the sim.
...use simmanager, tap&hold on each contact...
where do i get simmanager?
...it should be embedded in your RAM and programs-menu...
is there an easier way to get multiple numbers for one contact together as one whole contact than having to do it manually. I'm sorry if im not clear. For example if I have a work number, a home number, and a cell number for one person is there an easier way to combine them into one contact than having to do it all manually? thanks for the help.
hello, i'm confused as how to update a contact's phone number. i'd mainly like to update in both contacts and sim card. for example, John Smith changed his phone number and kept his email the same. i wish to update in the sim as well as automatically update in the contacts without manually going in and updating the contacts. so in the end i have to edit both sim entry and contact entry.
secondly i'm having problems with contacts switching from windows mobile2003. John Smith shows up in my contacts list as Smith,John so i can't search for him in the contacts list. i have to manually search for him in order to update his new phone number. any suggestions?
thirdly i can't create a new contact after i've added a new sim entry through contacts. it seems i have to load the Sim Manager application and wait while it loads sim entries in order to "Copy to Contacts"
any help would be greatly appreciated so i can streamline my work.
running: wizard (8125) with OEM rom
no solutions?
no one has a solution?

It's not possible to simultaneously update the contact's phone number in memory and in a SIM card, as far as I know. Shubaroo (see below) has a SIM manager that might make it a little easier on you.
Most people either use memory only (because they only have one phone and don't really care, like myself), or they use SIM only (because they change phones based on activity, like some people change shoes).

Wizards run Windows Mobile 5, not Windows Mobile 2003, so I don't know what else to say about that. Not sure what you're even asking, honestly.
As far as last, first vs. first last, I recommend "ContactFix" from www.shubaroo.com which is designed exactly to fix this.

Yep. See my comments above. One, or the other. That's your choice, but you don't get both, AFAIK.
One last bit of advice: Ask ONE question at a time, and you're far more likely to get a response. It took me nearly half an hour to sift through this mess to form cogent answers. Most people won't bother.
i was directed by another user to come here and ask this question...
i put my contacts on my phone.. and now they show up twice. once for the phone, and once for the sim card. and if i try to erase the sim one, it wants to permantly delete it from my sim card. and havin it on there twice is just pointless.. but i cant save email adresses or nothin with just the sim one..
so my question is.. can i hide the sim application numbers, so that all that shows is the contacts that are saved only on the phone..?..
if anyone can help.. id apericate it.. thanks..
After flashing new roms to my wing, a few times my contacts have duplicated themselves. I just select all "contacts" and delete from the phone. Then move to sim manager and select all and "save to contacts." It clears out all the duplicated "phone" contacts, and resaves from the sim. Any phone contacts you haven't backed up to your simcard will be lost, though, so check that your sim is up to date.

Hi there.
I don't understand this.
I have a lot of stored SMS in my Leo. When I browse them, the name of the person which is displayed is always the name stored in the the SIM contact, and not in the Device Contacts.
To make it easier, just an example:
In my SIM device I have this contact: Julian Oppenh?
In my device I also have this contact: Julian Oppenheimer (Shop)
If he sends me an SMS, it always shows "Julian Oppenh?"
If I remove this contact from my SIM card, then the name will be properly displayed ["Julian Oppenheimer (Shop)"]...but I don't like the idea of removing it from my SIM card!
If I receive an SMS from someone who exists in my device contacts but not in my SIM card directory, then the name is displayed as it should (obviously).
Anyone else had this issue? Hox can this be fixed? Is there a way to tell my Leo that information in device must prevail over information in SIM card?
Thanks in advance.
No one else has this problem??
I don't use SIM contacts ever, just sync your phone to your PC and delete the SIM contacts as they're backed up - end of issue
I found a way to solve this issue. I'll leave the method here just in case someone else has this problem.
I removed the SIM card, backed up my contacts & messages with PIMBackup, inserted the SIM card again, restored copy with PIMBackup and voila!
EddyOS, thanks for the tip, but the thing is that I wanted to keep these contacts in my SIM card, you never know.
Cheers,
Hi
I've a noob question:
Is there a way (maybe an app) to add more than one number, Group numbers, attach an image to a contact I saved on my sim card? I'm able to set these actions on my Gmail or phone contacts but not on my sim contacts.

SIM cards were never designed for those extra features, specially photos.
there's no easy way to save all the extra numbers and pictures of a contact into a SIM card, to use it on different phones, because every phone reads the data differently.
SIM cards only store contact names per single phone number, and your own phone number along with the carrier.
Thanks, lucky there is a copy sim to phone option.
