just got a new phone, got the Blackstone, was just wondering how i might be able to transfer all my contacts to my Blackstone or SIM card so i can use my new phone?
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.
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...

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.

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.

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?

Not strange at all. Since cdma phones don't allow you to save contacts to a sim card, there is no reason for an import option.
Try Sim Card Manager from the Play Store.
