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 imported contacts from my google account to my phone(stupid move). I should have just selected show contacts from google account. Now I have bunch of useless contacts on my phone(every single person I emailed with gmail, 80+). There's an option to show only contacts with numbers. I just don't get why it imports contacts without phone numbers(just like all the other android phones I had).
Now, how I delete the contacts off my phone?
Al I wanted was import contacts from my google account(with phone numbers cause those are friends I know in real life) and then export them to my sim card. I can't do that cause when you import contacts from your google account it imports everyone that you ever emailed. So stupid.

having your contacts from Google is better imo.no need to mess with your sim
I know having contacts from google is better. It'll always be on your account, but I would like to have my contacts(with phone numbers only) on my sim in case I use a non android phone in the future.

why would u even consider using anything else but android?
like i said go to contacts hit menu and look for display group and click on contacts with numbers
theres an option where you can just show contacts with phone numbers, rather than everyone you have ever emailed. also, just clear some of the contacts you dont normally are in touch with via gmail.
If you wanna delete your contacts simply go into the market and search delete contacts don't remember the icon what it looks like but you should find the app that works

yea well, it's call future proofing. My next phone will probably be android, but just in case.
stop saying contacts with numbers. When you try to copy phone contacts to sim card it shows all contacts, not just ones with phone numbers. You don't get it. Even if I display only contacts with numbers it'll still show all contacts when copying them to sim card.

hi im running a 2.2 rom Froyd right now on my hero and a friend of mine with a Nexus one 2.2 was stressing that he couldnt copy his contacts onto his SIM card, so i checked my hero also cas i could have sworn i saw that option on my 2.1 sense rom before but on 2.2 it appears missing.
So is there any hacks/apps that enable contacts 2 Sim card as this would be very useful
thanks guys
There might be an app for this?
I've never liked sim contacts on android, and always discourage them.

No no i mean i want to copy my contacts BACK to my sim card so i can use them again on another phone --
if im using froyd i import my sim contacts onto the phone - i was asking how to import them back to the sim card as i have new contacts that i dont like to loose when either reflashing or changing phone
a nokia 3310 offers this feature LOL (No i dont want to use a 3310) lol
No, I 100% understand what you want to do.
Use the market to search for "contacts to sim", and you'll see apps (many free) like Copy to SIM Card, Contact2SIM etc.
Give one of them a go
thanks Pulser , Contact2SIM worked like a gem
Or just sync your phone contacts to your Google account so you can always access them on any device or computer.

True, and that's what I normally recommend, but the OP was after a way to then put the SIM into his other phone and use it.
So in that case, Contacts to SIM is the best way

no worries. i need to import my contacts from my phone to my sim card. need mega help
Remember that there is a limit to a) number of contacts on a SIM card and b) a limit to the amount of information "per contact" on the SIM card. When I tried it from my old Nokia (E71) to transfer contacts when I first got the DHD I basically got as list of names with phone numbers. No other information. This could be enough for you I suppose.
But why not get a basic Nokia and use it's PC Suite to sync that phone with your contacts? Presuming you have them in Outlook or Google?

the basic phone i have dun not comes with a data cable nor the port thus i can only rely on my sim card.
Try something like this .... http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.shao.Copy2SIM ... I have no idea how good that app is but there are more of a similar nature.
Dave
thanks for ur help dvhttn but unfortunately i have tried tat app, it does not work.
Does the second phone have bluetooth abilites?
Open contacts, press menu, there is a option to import/export from simcard, as simple as that
If you don't have too many contacts that you need to transfer to sim then you can open each contact individually, then press menu, then save to sim.

Seems to me that as you can't take advantage of the suggestions below that your work needs to look at this and provide you with the correct tools. If that means a new phone then they should do that. It shouldn't fall on you to provide the tools of your job.

Have you tried contact2sim (by happydroid) from the market?
I jus installed RoyalGinger and I can't get my contacts to update. I installed the ROM twice thinking it would fix it. I only seem to get one contact to come up. Im not sure if there is a way to manually do it. Please help
Did u log in to your gmail account?
Yes I logged in just like I do anytime I install A new ROM. It's strange just one person from my contacts comes up.

try
Code:
menu button > settings > account's & Sync > Google Account> contact
I tried that and everything is checked where it should be and still no other contacts are added.
Also should'nt everything from my sim card come up anyway? I just assumed everything on the sim
would always be there no matter what.

Nope. The SIM card is 100% independent from the Google Accounts and on board memory.
Just to make sure I am not confusing anyone. What I mean by contacts is not just emails and names from google. I'm talking about all the names and phone numbers on my sim card. None of those seem to come up. Which is why i'm confused. I allways thought if your phone is in service and you can make calls and use data, you should have access to all the info on the sim card.
Problem solved! I found out that I can go under contacts and export it all to the SD card and then just import all that on the new ROM. RoyalGinger is awesome! I can't believe how much faster my phone got.
