i know this should be very simple but for some reason i just cannot figure this out..i dont use outlook btw. is there any other way to do this... im tryin to upgrade to the new 3g sim without having to manually reenter all the contacts.... anyone?
EDIT. ok so even if i have outlook on my computer, but dont use it for email, can i still use outlook to import the numbers.. then export them back to the phone?
...you can use sqb backup to backup and restore only pim contacts.
With pocketinformant2007 you can beam all your contacts out (as vcards) by BT or IR and use 'receive beam' to import them back...
hmm. i cannt even get active sync to export them using outlook now. basically im screwed?
...sorry, missed your 'edit'. Yes, that's possible...
Use the sim manager to save the contacts into TyTNs memory, then change the sim.

so sim manger >menu > save to contacts will keep the #s on my phone but also the memory card. are you sure??!
...my simcard contains only the numbers of my provider. How did you get all your numbers in, because I can only put in (200) numbers and names, by HAND. For me that isn't a possibility. Or do you've got an more up-to-data manager, i've got version 2.30.0...

Do it, then remove your sim and access your contacts. If they are there, and your sim is not on the TyTN, then your contacts are in TyTN's memory.
From now on, I would suggest you to use the internal memory of the phone, and backup with activesync + outlook, and don't store contacts on the SIM card anymore.

He wants to do it the other way round, that is puting contacts from SIM to TyTN.
...i know he wants them out of sim. I want to know how did he gets them in. Because my sim cannot contain contacts with emailadresses etc. My contactsinfo are embedded in windows\pim.vol. It would be nice to know if he can. It would be a nice place to backup when you want to perform a hard reset...
only the phone number can be stored on the sim, not the whole vcard data. Also the number of contacts you can store is very limited. I won't recommend using the sim as backup.
Anyway, if you still want to save contacts to SIM contacts try using the attached cab.

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

Hi all
I copied my contacts over from my sim but now am left with 2 sets of contacts how do i get ride of the sim contacts(can i use shcapps)
Thanks
Robert
Double, triple contacts are caused by outlook.In sinchronizations settings on PC u have to make update items on pc, not pda.Something like that. I dont use that by myself. Hope u will fix it.
U can use schaps for sim contacts.
Use the SIM Manager that is in Programs (can also be accessed from within Contacts). That should allow you to delete contacts from the SIM card quickly.
Thanks
Used shcapps tool to get rid of them

Hi. I have 3vo custom ROM (lates build, not testing), and found one, very annoyng thing:
I have 2 types of the contacts: in my SIM card, and in my Device memory.
I would like to use contacts from the device only.
I go to the Contacts -> Menu -> FIlter -> Device contacts.
After I do this, everything is ok - I see only my device contacts (synced with my outlook). However, when I leave this program (push the Home button, or whatever another) and then return to Contacts - I see the same - SIM card phone numbers.
Please help me with that.
In 6.1 there were no issues, and it was easy to filter out...
Maybe there is some registry key or something?
Thanks!
in your phone settings
go to settings-phone-call option-unselect show sim contacs.
and your done. bam! no sim contacts in your list anymore.
I'm relatively new to mobile phones.
I was using a Samsung Blue Earth S7550 briefly and input a bunch of contacts into it; names, tel. numbers and photos etc.
I was under the assumption that when you take your SIM card out and put it into another phone all of your contacts remain intact on the new phone.
I made sure that the phone contacts were on both the phone and SIM card.
Now when I put the SIM into my Samsung i9000, none of the contacts are there.
Is there something I must do to get it to work?
The phone recognizes the SIM at startup.
I hope I won't have to input all that data again.
TIA
yes, they should be visible. there is an option to hide sim contacts, maybe you have inadvertently enabled that.
contacts->menu->display option->choose contacts to display "CHECK SIM"
there is a check mark in settings you can enable to read the contacts from the SIM card
or you can export it from Outlook (if you are using outlook)
then import it using one of these contact management tools
