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.

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

i've had this phone for a while now. i would like to know is it possible to put the contacts onto the sim card. has anyone been able to do this yet? i've only seen the option to import contacts
also, can you have the pictures you take saved directly to the sd card?
as far as I know the contacts are always save in the sim card but also inyour gmail acct, pics are also always saved in the sd card
Just as the title says: I can't find the option to save contacts to sim card? I know I was able to do it on my Bold 9700.
Thanks.
Try searching the Market for an app to do it for you.... I don't see that option built into Android either... there's just options to import/export from SD card, or to import from the SIM.
Flashed Mircomod desire super hybrid last night... all seems good but every time I flash a new rom the phone wants to import contacts from both my sim card and my google account. I only want the ones from google as the ones that are stored on my sim card are out of order and pretty old.
Is there a way to prevent the importing of sim contacts?
Delete them from your SIM card...
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Yeah, it's a pain but you have to delete your SIM card so the Contact app in the sense rom won't detect the redundant contacts. If you ever need to back up your contacts to SIM again... try Contact2SIM but the app doesn't work well on Froyo though there's a workaround to that.
Anyway you don't really need anything to be saved on your SIM card unless you use it with other phones.
Alight, thanks for the help, got them deleted from the sim.
