Read contacts from sim card.

Is there a way of reading the contacts from the sim card on the Tytyn, without using sim manager and uploading into the phone.
I have recently upgraded from a KJam, and found this facility very useful, it would automatically read the contacts from the sim, and show a little sim card icon next to each name.
Furthermore, there was also another very useful option, which would allow you to create an additional sim contact. This feature only seems to be available on the Vodafone V1605 rom, but as I have previously mentioned in another post I have changed the rom to the Imate JasJam, and for the time being at least have no way of reinstalling the original Vodafone rom.
Maybe there is a third party piece of software, or a registry trick, any info would be greatfully appreciated.

Hide SIM SMS in WM6

Hi all,
How can I hide my SIM card SMS from Inbox?
I can't find anything, and forum search does not allow 3char search (says no matches for SMS and for SIM).
Anyone have got a solution? Thank you so much,
Eth

My contacts aren't showing fully in Touch

Hey guys,
I need some help, just got the HTC Touch and I'm using a 3G sim card with it. Problem is, when I go to contacts, I can only see up to 200+ contacts in my SIM Card. I've downloaded asukal SIM Manager and it still showed around 200+ contacts. Now I know I have more than this, I plugged my SIM card into another phone and it showed my contacts no problem so my contacts aren't lost.
If it helps, the SIM Manager says in SIM information;
Total phonebook size: 250
Phone book entries: 206
etc..
And the funny thing is, when I create a new contact it will be saved in the SIM Card contacts.
Anybody can help?
Thanks in advance

Can anybody help? I like this phone but I'll sell it if I can't solve this problem.

The SIM CARD has a limit for contacts: up to 250.
But maybe, there is a limitation from viewing it.
Have you tried the "Advanced Config" application? You can download it from www.pocketpcfreeware.mobi .
It a great program to manage the cellphone.

Problems with SMS sending

I've got some problems with sending SMS.
I read about people with this problem, but nothing to fix that problem.
Please give me some information how to fix the problem.
1. I have the right SMS center
2. I have intalled provider configuration after hard-reset
3. I use WM 6.5 (5.2.21500 - 21613)
4. I use latest Radio (1.14.25.24)
5. I use new Manila (2.0.37889.1)
When I will send a SMS to someone, some seconds later came up message "Can't send SMS".
With the same SIM I can send SMS with an other mobile.

When I got my Touch HD, I couldn't send SMSs either. It was a problem with my SIM card, that it was too old and I couldn't SMS in newer phones (like touch hd). Try to get a new SIM card.

Can confirm the above on HD in switzerland, got a new sim solved it.

I never heard about that. Why is there a problem with older SIM-cards??
Searching google don't give me any hint!
Is there someone with other ideas?

Intresting approach !
So lets run the above by me one more time.
You post saying that you cant send sms, give us info about your settings, rom and radio.
User one says "It was a problem with my SIM card, that it was too old and I couldn't SMS "
User two says "Can confirm the above on HD in switzerland, got a new sim solved it. "
and then you google not liking the answer.
Now you want somebody to give you another answer, will google and not like it and then ??
I for one can not answer the question of why one can have a problem with old sim cards only confim that I had it and I solved it. But What do I know.

Hi HDuser.
Thanks for your reply to my thread! But it didn't help ...
On writing my statement, the second one (you) told, that he fixed the problem with a new card, too. So I saw first just one answer, after submitting the second.
My reason to ask more people is:
- I have to pay for a new SIM. Why should I order a new one, just one person told something about a new SIM.
- I don't understand, where's the differents between this SIM-card new one vs old one.
Are there realy different SIM-versions in the market? I don't find anything about that search the net...
Please post some URL to read about that fact.

Update 1:
I checked out with an other SIM (newer from 2008 prepaid) and the news: with it I can send out SMS.
So I phoned with my provider today. I will get a new SIM for free. They told me, a new SIM is good for my battery and GSM-connection, too.
Update 2:
Today I got my new SIM. But SMS don't sendout :-(
Where's the problem - that's my question at all!
Yours Andreas

Now I can only go on what happend to me and that was a faulty sim.
I too have to buy a new sim but if the sim that I have does not work then its a fault of my provider not mine. (but I have a contract and not a pre-paid).
I cant point you to anywere as you yourself can't find the issue in google.
If you feel its not the sim, them use a friends and SMS with that one, prove that you can SMS on the device and you know its not the device.
Proving that you can SMS with your sim an other device does not mean that the sim works on your blackstone.
On mine device just reflashed I need only to go to phone, options - services -voice messages and text - get settings .... this gives me my text message service of my provider. I am set and can send.

Sms Sending Problem with simcard of U-Fone - Pakistan
i have HTC Touch HD i installed the new 1.56 V3.3 XTREME by Dutty based ROM. everything works fine but sms. when i send sms it stays in the outbox until i make a call. the sms is only sent when i make a call.
i have tried the new sim card solution but no use.
still having problem. if someone have a solution please help.

Think you will find that the sms goes even though it says it doesn't, at least that is what mine is doing as the girlfriend thought I'd gone mad and sent her about ten messages all about some flight details.
Even though the phone said not sent she got them all lol, but got to admit it is annoying and it has nothing to do with my sim it has only happened since shifting to the 1.56 base all previous cooked roms worked without this glitch.

I don't have interface to send SMS or type a new e-mail
when i try to send a new sms or a new e-mail i got a blank white page.
please help

on Dutty's roms this is known bug of manila.
I have an old simple sim, more than 5 years old, and I can send sms within standard sms application. but when I use manila (on dutty's rom) it sends somtimes, and sometimes it doesn't.

MOD EDIT
Moving thread to general discussion forum

i wonder why it stopped at four, though. after the fourth, all messages stopped being saved to the sim and it hasn't happened since. i haven't changed anything so i'm terribly confused!

So far, what I can suggest is for you guys to load the SIM card into any 3G/HSDPA modem client. This client will show the SMS contents in the SIM card. You can then delete them from this client.

what is 3G/HSDPA modem client?

bump this up, still need help!

anyone? anyone at all?

happened to me on AT&T when we went to DST a few months back. I don't even have a clue on how to save SMS with the HTC messaging client let alone how to delete it. After a few days the messages would disappear complete and all order has been restored.

I'm having the same problem man..I even called t-mobile "htc hd2 experts", but all they did is the same thing as what everyone else on this topic is doing lol...

I have the same problem here :-(

I have a message saved on my sim card that I can't delete either. It's annoying. Anyone found a solution to this? Is there a way to browse the sim from the file explorer?

bump. also have this problem

I try to found a solution, but I just has been reading about delete them from a SIM Card USB reader :-(

you gotta transfer your sim card to a different phone and delete the msgs there. thats what i did and it worked. I used a sony ericcson k800 phone to do it. Im not sure if theres a certain phone to transfer to but im guessing a non HD2 phone? haha

Finally I can delete the messages. I put my SIM Card in other phone (BlackBerry) and delete the SMS from there and put back the SIM Card on my HTC HD2 and the messages was deleted!

Same problem here. I can 'get around' it by putting the SIM card into another phone, but that is unacceptable as a long-term workaround. Some messages are delivered straight to the SIM, and having to swap the card once a week or more is not making me happy with the device.
Is there a 3rd parry software package that allows one to delete sms messages from the SIM?

Disable SMS copy to SIM
::bump::​
Can we work on a patch to disable SMS copy to SIM?
That way when its accidentally copied we don't have to pull out the SIM to delete it on another device.

hey everyone, I've been lurking for quite some time now. Finally have something noteworthy to share. I had the same problem with SMS saved to my SIM...just go to your SIM manager...copy your SIM contacts onto your device...then delete the contacts left on your SIM. I then used PIM backup to store my contacts onto my SD card...just in case my phone goes to sh!t.

Same problem. Reported it to Tmo
They dont know balls.
I tried everything. Put Sim in another phone tried deleting the message but wouldnt work.
Even ordered a new sim card. Lasted about two weeks before the phantom voicemail/129 text started popping up again.
Text from 129 its part of the HD2 on TMO, accept it.
