Alright, so I updated my phone last night via AT&T's OTA update and everything is all great and gingerbread-y. However, now only my Facebook and Google contacts will display on the dialer with no option to access my SIM card contacts. I've looked at the different display options for the dialer, but I have yet to find to an option to display SIM card contacts. My phone WAS rooted before I OTA'ed, but everything else is/ was stock when I updated. Any ideas?

Phone Icon > Menu > Import/Export > Import Contacts from SIM Card.
So far only option.
And beware, it only works once. So export them somewhere after you improt them.

I'd recommend getting them onto google then dining an export to an external file and save that somewhere safe. Thus not losing your contacts.

Well, this is amazing. I tried importing my contacts and it gave me "Import contacts failed." I tried it a second time and now it says there are no contacts on my SIM card. Well thanks Motorola.
Check ur sim card first, and if there's no problem with it, read the contacts from another phone and export them, then upload to google.
anyway, everything goes down but not include G 囧
Hi,
I have a Nexus 4, and by accident, I've managed to copy my gmail contacts to the SIM. Since doing this, I now can't remove these contacts which means my SIM card is full.
I've tried various SIM apps from the Play store, but they all say they can't delete contacts, or one of the apps confirms deletion, but then displays them again when you go back into the app!
Any way to sort this please?
Thanks
I have a bunch of contacts on my S6 phone. Most of them are on the sim card or in the "phone". About 20% of them are on my google account when I choose to display only google account contacts.
When I go to my accounts on the S6 and click on on my google account to sync my "contacts", It says "last synced" just then and there as you expect, however, it only syncs the contacts that are present in my google account, NONE of the new ones in my sim card or phone. I guess I have been saving new contacts to my phone rather than my google account, so what good is sync?
So when i go to my S5 and log in with the google account, it ONLY has the google account contacts present, and none of the other ones in the S6. I want to have ALL my contacts in my S5 that I have in my S6.
Furthermore, the S5 uses kies and the S6 uses smart switch, so I cant even work out how to sync the contacts on my computer and put them on the other phone!
Same for memos!
WTF samsung why did they drop KIES for the S6?

Thanks westwood. I already solved the problem using an awesome app called "phone copier" I did it via bluetootha and viola it did ALL the contacts.
Prior to this I spent literrlay 4+ hours trying to get my contacts from one phone to the other. There was simply no way to do it via offical means, or if there was it as so convoluted and unimaginative that its ridiculous. I tried using smartswtich on both the s5 and s6 via the pc. I backed up one on phone and plugged in the other and restored. Guess what. AGAIN only the 30% or so google account contacts copied. Then I tried smartswitch over the air via play store. Guess what the phones found each other, but then one of them said not enough space and closed down without even letting me see what was going on. HEY I only want to copy contacts!! What do you mean not enough space. Ridiculous.
I have a Samsung S5(gave it away after backup), i backed up everything to Google and Samsung...i switched Sim to Note 4, and i dont get all my contacts....please help me......im so lost now, i lost major contacts
some contacts are missing i dont know why
*this is my first mesage here in XDA*
Well, if you backed up your contacts on Google and Samsung it has nothing to do with a Sim card you inserted. Are you sure you set up the accounts correctly?

In Mi A1, I am not seeing any option to save newly created contact in phone or SIM, the only option is to save in google account. Also tried in google dedicated contact app from play store, but the option to save contact in phone or SIM is missing there as well in Google contact app. Anyone know any app or workaround to save contact in phone or SIM?
Use "LocalAccount" app from Play Store. Will do the trick.
That's be a use those options don't exist in stock Android. Sim cards in most places in the world have not been used for phone numbers in almost a decade so devices with it come with a separate app to make it happen
Contacts>>>>Menu then find 3 dots on top right corner and you find>>>>>Import\Export
Check this works
there is one way to save contacts in phine storage i.e first root your mobile and then by installing titanium backup,freeze google contacts sync.thats it your contacts will besaved to phone storage.
hope this helps.
This can't be for real ... is there still no way to store contacts on the device itself? What is Samsung doing that MIUI can't/won't?
I too was searching for this. There is no option in the mobile to do that.
Hopfully u could export all the contacts to SSD card and later use another Sim(new one), n
copy all contacts to it. U know phones before smart phones; were the ones that could do it.
