where is Phone Book????

Simone

Under 'Programs' in the Start Menu is a tool called 'SIM manager' which allows SIM number viewing as well as import of SIM numbers to the Contacts database.
The 'SIM manager' app is also accessible by pressing the little rolodex between the SIM-card symbol and the calculator in the second row of icons on the Today page.

Saving phonebook to SIM

Is there any way of saving numbers stored in the phonebook to the sim on an XDA2?

Don't know if there is a way to copy your entire contacts in one move to the SIM. If possible most SIM can store a limited number of contacts.
But it is possible to copy contacts one by one to the SIM. Maybe you knew this allready. If not this is how:
Tap to a contact an hold until a menu appears. Choose Save To SIM an a copy of the contact is saved to the SIM.
Cheers,
Mark

You can also copy multiple contacts onto your SIM by selecting the desired (or all) contacts and then tapping Tools -> Save to SIM.

Contacts List Question

Can you easily switch between Sim Contacts and Phone Contacts?
Can you select where you want a new contact's details saving, either phone or sim?
I am currently using the contact list on my phone and not sim and notice next to each contact there are arrows like this (< >) Any ideas why please?
Thanks in advance

All contact are stored in the phone. If you want to store on the SIM, you can go to the SIM-manager in the contacts menu.
The arrows show which is the default method of contact. You can switch type by pressing left or right with the joystick.

Sense Phonebook shows Contacts And Sim

Hi, when you press phone to open your contacts, you get the Phone contacts AND the Sim contacts, how do you filter just one or the other.?
I like to keep a backup copy of my contacts on the sim, not just the phone, but i now get 2 enetries for each contact?

Go to People tab > All people > Menu > View and choose contacts or sim.

Yeah that i worked out, but when you press the phone button, it still shows phone contacts AND SIM untill you press the all people button????
why???

I don't know why. I never even noticed that.

Not only that it shows all the emails too, i also deleted them all, and 10 mins later they are back??
Weird phone man...

yes. same problem here.
I select to filter sim contacts. close it. even restart but it still shows both sim contacts and phone contacts.
thanks.

is only way keeping sim card empty?

any ideas?

Use a registry editor and do this tweak:
Code:
HKCU\ControlPanel\Phone\ShowSIM = 0 (DWORD; default is 1)
That hides the SIM contacts in the dialer only. They still show up in e-mail and sms screens, but at least it's not in the dialer any more!

that works.
thank you.

[Q] Import contacts from simcard?

As title says, how do I import contacts from the simcard? None of them are showing up when trying to send a text...

it's really simple, Go to People,when it opens, Long press on People and hit Settings and here you will find an option "import SIm contacts" that's it
