So I just purchased an Imate Jam. On my old phone (Nokia) I copied all my current contacts to my SIM card. Put SIM into Jam and I can't see any of my contacts. Put SIM into Nokia it sees them fine. How can I copy my contacts from my SIM into my Jam?
Thanks.
saldous,
there is a program called Sim Manager in the Program Files Directory.
Once loaded, it will show the contacts available. click on Edit--> Select All
Hold the stylus on one of the contacts selected and click -> Save To Contacts.
Hope this will solve your problem

Eman
Just out of interest, does the xda use the memory on the simm for contacts, i.e. does it save to simm so when you take your simm to another phone, you take all your contacts? (no I haven't searched this question, it's spur of the moment stuff)!
Thanks, worked great.
I don't think it saves new ones to the SIM.
No, the magician is only capable of importing SIM data to its internal contacts database. The memory on today's SIM cards wouldn't be enough to hold all this information on them. I think that modern phones also don't use the SIM card to store all the extended contact informations they provide, like email addresses etc. I guess they only store one main phone number into the SIM, the rest into the phone's memory. I would prefer this solution for the Magician though, because it would at least keep the most important numbers on the SIM. Maybe this is also a speed issue (the SIM manager is quite slow).
Does anyone know how to erase contacts from the sim card once the transfer to the PDA memory is done?
What about using the delete function in the Sim manager :idea:
:roll:
I like to have all my contacts saved onto my phone so I can add pictures and other info to the contact infromation that it doesnt allow you to do if it is just on the sim card... I also like to keep all my contacts on my sim card in case the phone crashes and I need to pull the sim and switch phones.. here is my problem. Since I have my contacts on both my phone and my sim, they show duplicates in the contacts list. Is there any way to filter out the sim card contacts so I dont have 2 of everyone(1 on phone, 1 on sim)??
fyi: Im using WM6

Greatings from Frank
just got a new phone, got the Blackstone, was just wondering how i might be able to transfer all my contacts to my Blackstone or SIM card so i can use my new phone?
did u try hitting menu while viewing your contact list?
He doesnt want to import from sim card he wants to export to the sim card. There currently isnt a way to do this on the G1.
does anyone know of an easy way to import all my SIM contacts into my phone.
I am using my X1 with the sbp panel (tried the shell 2.0 but didnt like it). I want to have my speed dial contacts on the 3rd pane, but I cant add photos to the sim conacts, only to the phone contacts..
instead of importing my contacts one by one, or creating new ones i was hoping there was a way to mass import them...forgive me if im being dumb!

It is written in the manual, page 7.
"SIM Manager – Manage the contacts stored on your
USIM/SIM card. You can also copy USIM/SIM contents
to Contacts in your phone."
So, use the SIM manager and the options it provides to select all contacts anc copy them to the phone.
is there an easy way to sync the contacts back to the SIM card? i often switch phones and when i get new numbers, they don't transfer to the sim card, instead they stay on the phone and get synced to my gmail account. is there something that is out there that can sync them neatly to the sim card? or can anyone develop an app that can do so?
a sim card reader will do the job
they run from $ 5 USD to 150
this is a nice one: http://cgi.ebay.com/USB-Card-Reader...5|66:2|65:12|39:1|240:1318|301:1|293:1|294:50

It would make more sense to have an app that would send your contacts to the sim, but there are parsing issues (I'm guessing. Google/Android has only one name field, most other formats, generally sim cards, Outlook WinMo, Symbian) have first and last names, and a bunch of other info Android is missing.)
Hope that helps.
