Your phone number...
Some Sims store contacts but most people use Google for that now

Is there anyway to hide the contacts saved on your SIM?
That is, at the moment I have all my contacts saved on the phone with their full details, I also have a basic copy of my contacts saved on my SIM for when the SIM is placed into my second phone (Small phone used when out on the beer :wink: )
But when I open up the Caller ID contacts by default it shows all contacts, both on phone and SIM so I end up getting duplication.
I know I can set the view to Contacts only every time I go into it but I would prefer a more default way of doing it.
Also I'm finding that Caller ID contacts takes a while to open and list all contacts even when my SIM card is empty, is this normal?
Thanks for any help.
A bit off topic, but
Here in germany I can get duplicate sims, so i have one phone for the weekend, and one for work, with both the same number, and the last one i just used or switched on is active. Try that for the UK :wink:
duplicate sims
What make of sim?
. I tried the "magic" multi sim, but the hash is incompatiuble with vodafone(uk). There is probably a hack, but I can't find it.
I dont think any of the sims in UK work with the multi sims or similar products because they use the latest protection, I ended up with 3 destroyed sims while trying. I got in touch with the makers in hong kong and they confirmed that uk sims will not work unless somebody comes up with new software for hacking/cloning.
Please, somebody can tell me where can I find SIM tool kit for Magician?
I have checked SIMcard with 750 phone-numbers: Information in SIMmanager aplication of O2mini only 250 numbers :shock:
Thanks
I think most SIMs are only able to store 250 numbers, are you sure that there are 750 phone numbers in the SIM ?

It could be a cloned one :?

SIM Tool Kit should be on the program menu. At least it is on mine.
May be SIM tool kit from extended rom?
@ bamse
Have you been using O2mini? You istalled all aplications from extended rom?
This is new SIM- 64k
SIM toolkit is a default app even if you don't install EXT-ROM you should have it.
Reason
Yes, I had delete STK in folder startup of windows (and installed only some aplications of E.Rom)
Now My O2mini is OK
Thank
Question: I have STK with a cloned SIM card with 4 numbers on it. The program is called Multinumber. This lets you change between the different numbers on the SIM card. I noticed that the Multinumber windo always pop up when a SMS text message is sent. Does anyone know how to stop it from doing that?
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
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.
Hi there ,
When i check my contact list i have a message saying sim card unavailable at the top under search. Had the phone 2 weeks problem free and this is the only issue i have. Ps also happens on my girls x10

I had this but fixed it by taking the SIM out and editing advanced-special number- in my old phone and adding my number.
My phone number now shows instead of the "sim card unavailable".
Yup agree with above poster... shove it in a dumb phone, edit your number then pop it back in your smart phone and it will be able to 'see' the number
Great tip. That's been bugging me for a while. Thanks!
I have a htc touch dual will that do it ? Thanks for replies

hi
i need to save my number to a special/my own number??
or i need my to save my number and edit the name to something special??
How would you edit your number using a dumbphone?
It does work, but there should be an application to fix this , it is funny that a "smart phone" can not handle "stupid tasks"
Wanted to know how to do this also. Cheers
I used a blackberry on the service provider store to edit it and be able to use taptalk...

LOL...good one...
yes!!!
thats exactly how its done... I had the same problem , removed the sim, put it in an old SE phone, edited the number and now it shows up in my X10i...
FYI: Mobile number is never pre-stored in SIM card given by your mobile operator. The SIM card only contains IMSI (International Mobile Subscriber Identity) which is the ID of the SIM card it self. And the phone does not know what is its phone number as well. And that is why that you can actually ask the mobile operator to change your phone number, without requiring you to change SIM card.
So you need to manually write your own number with other phone.
PS: Mobile phone eavesdropping/tapping hardwares also cannot see your phone number, only IMSI as the phone send their IMSI to mobile network. So movie that shows that they can sniff and see your phone number in their hardware, its fake.
i sold all my old phones
