My email account seems to automatically delete old message, which annoys me. Does the phone save sms as well as emails on the sim card?
I get the message that my sim card is full when I receive a new message.
How can I make it save all messages on the phone memory?
Thanks
Phone saves messages in its own memory, not on sim card. It can't save email on sim card I think. Try to change accounts settings. I have messages in phone until i delete it manually.
weird, it always wants me to delete messages because my sim card is supposedly full...

In trinity, when you copy contacts from sim to phone, u only see phone contacts. So you can edit and save more information under contacts stored on phone. However, in Kaiser, when you enter sim card, all sim contacts are already shown under contacts and sim contacts have limited editing. So in case you copy contacts from sim to phone, it makes it double in conatcs, showing two entries, one saved on phone and one on sim.
Is it possible to view only phone stored contacts without actually deleting contatcs from sim. I want original contacts to be stored on the sim. But copy of them should be in phone with extended informations like 2nd numbers, address, emails etc. But how to avoid two enteries? How to switch sim contacs off in "Contacts"???
I tried finding any solution but :-(.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
Hi guys. I have copied my contacts from my SIM card to the phone. However, the phone now shows both contacts from SIM card and phone, meaning duplicates of contacts.
Is there anyway to just view the contacts from either the phone or the SIM card?
With my wm6 tornado, that setting was hidden with phone network settings such as divert calls, call waiting etc.

Thx a lot for the help guys
I am having problems with my contacts. Thread here. Not making a lot of progress.
One suggestion I read somewhere was to delete my contacts from the SIM. But the Contact management software on the phone only allows copy to/from the SIM.
Anyone know how to delete contacts from the SIM on a Captivate?

I couldn't find way to delete all the contacts from SIM card all together. I've deleted them one by one.
Go to 'Contacts', here you'll see contacts marked with small sigh of SIM card. Hold you finger on the contact for 2-3 seconds. A pop-up menu will apper. The menu contains 'Delete' item. Choose it and the contact will be deleted from the SIM card.
I put the SIM in an older (Symbian) phone. That permitted wholesale deletion of the contacts.
Thanks for the tip. I put it back in my WinMo phone to delete them.
Tempting to make a wise crack
So far, the only thing I've found is "Contact Remover" on the market. I tried it after reading a post by Kak and android forums.

Like he says, you can't "organize" it based on sim or phone, but your sim card contacts will always be listed 1st.
So if you have

The 1st two will likely be from your sim card. I would export your contacts first, just in case and maybe double check their order by displaying both phone and sim contacts. It's not perfect, but it made it a heck of a lot easier than individually deleting!
What is going on here exactly?
You can Import/Export phone contacts from/to the SD card (sdcard folder).
This means that the contacts are going to/coming from the internal SD card, not your external SD card, if you have one.
Where are they coming from if you export them to the SD card?
Are they coming from Internal Phone Storage?
What is exported exactly? Just the names and tel. numbers, or all of the contact info you have entered (tel. no., e-mail, pics, notes, home addresses, etc.)?
If you delete all your phone entries and then Import from the SD card, will ALL the contact info come back faithfully, or will you be missing any info?
Has anyone here ever tried this?
A few more questions. Where does the SIM enter into this picture?
Is any phone contact data stored on the SIM card?
I heard before that you can transfer contact data onto SIM cards and take them with you to other phones.
I don't see an option to transfer contacts onto the SIM card with the SGS.
I had a Blue Earth recently that allowed this.
The manual says there is a way to copy contacts to your SIM card, but it mentions selecting 'a contact', not your entire contact list.
I also can't find this feature on my phone anymore (I did once).
TIA

I figured out the SIM card questions.
I ported my contacts onto my SGS by putting my sim card into my old phone and copying my contacts to sim.
I then copied the contacts to my SGS phone. In "Contacts" I can choose to view contacts from phone only, but if I try to forward a text to a contact I am shown the contacts from the phone and the sim card which means that with the exception of new contacts there are two copies of every contact.
Is there any method of deleting all sim card contacts en block, or do I have to delete each one individually, I have over 100 contacts so it will take a long time.
Thanks in advance for any help.
