Does anyone know of an easy way to copy ALL Contacts on the Wiz (8125 Moloski ROM) to my SIM? I've tried a bunch of different utils with no success, followed quite a few peoples previous posts with no luck either.
If anyone knows of a good program or utility that does this easily I would really appreciate. Preferably something free.
Thanks,

Hmmm, copy all contacts to sim card? Are you sure you want to? In the phone your contacts have all the information you can have in outlook. On the sim card you are limited to name and number. So for example if you have a contact with 3 phone numbers, birthday, and email address copied to the sim card you would lose everything but the phone numbers and have 3 entries for that contact, 1 for each number.
Oh I definitely want to. I will still have all my contacts saved in outlook (with all the extended info), but I do want a copy on the sim card to put in my CU500 for use on nights & weekends type of thing.
Anyone? This is really killing me here :-/
im using a 8125, and trying to save all the contacts within my phone memory (or on my computer in outlook) to my sim card so when i switch to using my NON-PPC phone all my contacts will be there.
i cant even find a way to copy one-by-one let alone the entire address book.
ANYONE have the answer to this ?
i kno i kno, the sim only holds a name with 1 number thats all i want and need.
PLEASE HELP...
Can someone answer this
I did a search because I now want to do this and this was the only useful post....too bad no one responded! THANKS!
Hmmm... don't switch.
Good Morning Gents,
Synced up my Touch HD this morning and lol and behold, all my contacts started doubling up. Any one else experienced this issue? Or am I doing something really really stupid? This happened with my omnia too..
would really appreciate your help guys!

One from your SIM card and another from your device? Or both from the device?
Or both from SIM card, one is for mobile phone nuimber and another for say the home or office number?

Both from the same device.
I believe it is currently displaying the Outlook and MSN contacts.
Any way to make it ONLY show the Outlook contacts?
It's a known bug with activesync i know from old Hermes times. If you have this problem the fu..k will double the contacts each synchronizing.
Recommend new sync installation and new start-up synchro.
Yes, one list is from your Outlook contacts, and the other appears from your MSN list when you sync.
Go into the Windows Live sync options and de-select the Store WL Contacts.
I'm not sure if this will delete the doubledup contacts, but will prevent further download of MSN contacts in the future (so you might need to tidy up yoiur contacts list just once).
Cheers guys!
I will try it out tonight. Will let you know of any developments i have.!
Cheers!

Anyone know why both tick boxes are un-untickable for me?
If you delete your hotmail/live/msn ID in Windows Live options. When you recreate your ID the checkboxes shouldn't be greyed out. It seems to be a one time only choice.

I have this problem too, however I can't seem to find the option to delete the my hotmail/live/msn ID. May i know how do I go about deleting them?
Currently using the card that came with my tmo V330 and also rode in a V195 before going into this Vibrant. Couldn't access the web with the supplied card, so easiest solution was to use the old one. I know now that tmo needs info on any new card before granting web access, so that prob is solved - just needing proper method of transferring my contacts, etc info to the new card.
Directions will be appreciated!
I'm pretty sure t mobile can do it for you for free

If I were you, I'd make sure I had a Google account sync'd with my phone first of all. Then, put the old (the one with contacts on it) SIM card on the Vibrant, copy all the contacts to the phone (Contacts -> Settings -> More -> SIM Management -> SIM to Phone), then to go "Import/Export" in Contacts -> Settings -> More. From here, click on Export to SD Card to copy your phone contacts (which used to be your SIM contacts) to a file. Then go back to Import/Export and click on Import from SD Card and choose to import it to your Google account. Now all your contacts are saved in your Google account. From here, take your old SIM out and put your new SIM in and rejoice. Just remember to save new contacts straight to your Google account and not to the phone, and you never have to worry about losing contacts or transferring them via a piece of hardware ever again. Also, should you break/brick/otherwise damage your phone, you can always just pull all your contacts down from Google in a matter of seconds. Far more convenient.
Thanks to both who offered solutions
Opiomorph - you Sir, are the reason the term "Guru" was created... At the point where I was asked, "Are you sure you want to export your contacts?", I wussed and had to crack and consume a cold one. Rally.. Eventually my trembling finger hit the accept button, and I watched my contacts shoot to t the Google account.
Wrote down the numbers from the new SIM and installed card to phone. Booted up and called tmo to verify new card. Re-established login with Google.
Perfect! Everything is working and my contacts now show copy to Google account plus to new SIM.
Your concise instructions have made my day!!
To others who follow, first mention of settings refers to that while in the"Contacts"mode.
Thanks for pointing that out, I edited my post to reflect that. Glad I could help but...did you really have to drink so early in the morning? It is the weekend, I suppose. :3
Yes, but it was 5 o'clock somewhere, (smiles)
Hi all, I have a question that I can't seem to find the answer to anywhere.
Basically, I want to be able to sync my current phone/SIM card contacts with Google.
Every time I create a new contact on the phone it gives me the option to save it to either the phone, the SIM card, or Google. I always choose Google since I want to be able to access them on the cloud some time in case I ever switch phones or brick it.
My question is, I have quite a few contacts already on the phone and on the SIM card that aren't saved on the cloud. Is there any way at all I can do a complete sync so I can put all my phone/SIM card contacts onto Google the same way adding a new contact sends them there?
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
There is a workaround: You can save all your contacts as a vcf by going to contacts, options, "Import/Export", "Export to SD card". Then select Import/Export again, and Import from the SD card to your google account.
From here (I'm a new user so can't make the link live, sorry): code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=4236
Also same solution listed here: google.com/support/forum/p/gmail/thread?tid=30a6a99f562bbb28
I don't know how to get Google's attention to fix this.
Wow, that worked perfectly, thank you.
Slightly inconvenient that now I have doubles of every contact, but I simply went to my settings and checked only the "show google contacts" option and unchecked the SIM and Phone options.
Would you happen to know if there's another way to make the duplicates go away?

Ha, I guess I could do that. Though I'm not 100% sure about moving all to the cloud. There's always the possibility that my phone could break and I not have any money to get a backup smartphone right away. It'd be convenient to at least keep some contacts on my SIM card just in case I have to switch over to a dumbphone at some point.
Thank you though.
You can delete and merge dups with "Contact Analyzer 2" from the Market. Feel free to hit "thanks" if you appreciate my pointers!
