Hi All,
Is there a way of making the phone use only the internal phone book and disregard the SIM phonebook?
I like to keep a backup of my important phone contacts on my sim, but I don't want the doubling up that see cos the phone looks at both databases.
thanks
Bugger.. I was hoping someone would have an answer for this one...
in contacts you can click the show tab in the left top
there you can choose which contacts you want to see
with groups
juke display a group that non of the sim contacts are in

Hi.
You know how on the mda when you hold the d-pad down on the contacts, after a few seconds a letter comes up? It seems like its there to help you skip to the letter that it lands on, but on my phone it doesn't do that. I stay at the same contact that it stopped on before projecting the letter. All the contacts in my phone are sim contacts, do you think this is the problem, like does it only work for the contacts saved to the phone?
And my second question is, after you make a call that is not on the contacts list, is there anyway to save it to the (sim) contacts without having to copy and paste all over again? My old phone whenever I dialed a number or recieved a call that wasn't on my list, one of the soft keys would say "store" or I could press the menu soft key to "store" into my contacts. Unless I have overlooked it, I can't seem to do that with the mda.
Thanx
Anybody?
This is the only gripe I have about the MDA so far, hoping to get it figured out if there is a way.
thanx
like you said it may be that the contacts are on the sim, transfer your contacts to the phone
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.
hey guys i just updated my device to have touchflo 2.3 and slide to unlock.
My only problem is that about half my phonebook is missing. I'm not sure if its just the numbers on my sim, or my numbers saved to my phone.
They are still on my phone because they show up if i try to send the person a text (you know how it predicts the person by there name when you go to type it in the send to), but they won't show up in my phone book.
Does anyone have any clue why this might happen, or anything i could do to fix it?
If you didn't back up the numbers first before you flashed your phone with TouchIT 2.3, then you deleted all your contacts. The ones that are showing are in your SIM but TouchIT is setup so that it won't show them in your contact list.
i backed up my numbers, but is there anyway for me to move the sim contacts on my phone so that i can see them in my phone book?
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Phone]
"ShowSIM"=dword:00000001
i got it,thanks for your 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.
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.
