I just received my shiny new XDA II and I was wondering is there an easy way to dial phonebook entries which are stored on my SIM card?
I notice when you press the Green button to start the phone application there is a button at the bottom to go to the Contacts list (sync'd from Outlook).
I have a hundred or more phone book entries on my SIM card but I notice that when I hit the call button it gives me the option of choosing people out of my synchronised Outlook Contacts list but to call people from the SIM card I have to bring up the SIM Manager and click and hold and select call from an entry which seems cumbersome. Is there a nice easy way to have a combined list of Outlook Contacts + SIM Phone Book entries with a simple click to call mechanism?
I also notice for received calls and SMS's the Caller ID thingy doesn't look at any of the phonebook entries on the SIM card to translate numbers into names - can this be fixed as well?
OR alternatively if the only solution is to have everything in Outlook Contacts then is there a nice easy tool (preferably freeware) which takes all my existing SIM phonebook entries and converts them into Outlook Contact entries?
Thanks,
Rodney...
Ok: when you are in "SIM Manager" select "Tools" and "Select all".
Tap and hold anywere in the window and select "Save to Conctacts" in the pop up that will appear.
I hope this can help you!
Yep - I found that a few hours after making this post - but thanks for that anyway...
So is the general consensus that we shouldn't use the SIM based phonebook at all but rather have all entries in the Outlook Contacts list?
Copying SIM entries to Outlook
I've use the SIM toolkit to 'add' my SIM contacts into my XDA contacts, but when sync'ing with my PC, the new contacts claim to xfer over, but don't appear in my PC's address book. ActiveSync is set to xfer contacts.
Any ideas what might be wrong, or are there tools that will upload the SIM data to Outlook in an easy manner. I appreciate that SIM contact info is limited by the SIM.
Thanks, Hamish.
I'm trying to save all my contacts from the Exec to my sim. There doesn't seem to be a way to highlight all my contacts in one go. I can do it easy from SIM to Contacts, but not the other way around. Surely I don't have to transfer them one at a time?
Hope I'm just missing something obvious???
sorry guys i've just copied my sim contact to phone contact but when i open contact there's a sim contact data and phone contact data
ijust want to know how to hide the sim contact data cause it's very disturb me and make me confuse
displaying data
my solution for your problem is that i synced all my contacts to outlook then opened the editor in outlook and changed the catagory for all the on phone contacts to personal, then when displaying contacts on phone i just filtered it by catagory
hope this works for you
thx i've just want to try it

i have installed this on my HTC touch and i no longer see the sim contacts in the contacts list.
I notice that when typing a contact name for a SMS message, some of my old contacts no longer on my Gmail account show up. I think these contacts may still be on my SIM card. How do I edit my SIM card contacts from the phone?
In the contacts option you have to choose which ones to display: SIM card in your case.
Once you do that the SIM contacts will appear in the main list. You can then long press one of them and choose edit.
There is also an app on the market called contact2sim pro which will pretty much do the same thing but I find it completely unnecessary with the Vibrant.
I have an Blackjack II and i want to transfer my contacts from the old Sim and phone to my New phone and SIM. Is there an easier way to do this besides each one individually.
If you have copied all of your contacts to SIM on old phone, just insert SIM into Focus. It will pick up the contacts. Go to Settings and scroll over to People then to import SIM contacts.
