Contacts problem.

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.

Restore SIM contacts to PDA?

I have a sim card with only 100 entries, so I have 200+ numbers in my old GSM phone. The Kaiser is my first PDA/XDA (what to call it?). I have a backup of all numbers, but I cannot see how I can get all these numbers into the Kaiser without entering all of them manually - or - copying 100 at a time, from the sim card. There must be some way of restoring contacts from file to the phone?
Of course I also want to be able to back up my contacts in the future (I am not using Outlook, btw). Software for that?

use sim manager, it's in the contact's menu button.

I have been there already. I am not looking for copying from sim to phone, but from a contacts file to the phone. Something like "Import ..." or "Import vCard". I used to use Oxygen Phone Manager, but it seems it does not work for PDAs, so I need to find similar program for PDA - also to back up all the info I have gathered in it by now ...

What do you plan to use to manage contacts on your PC? Once you've figured that out, import your file into it, then sync that with your PDA. There's no "Import from File" feature in WM.

Try NS Contacts .. http://nscontacts.nyxbull.net

Contacts problem

Hi,
Im having problems with my contacts, There are some contacts that are on the sim card and not in the outlook contacts. So What I want to do is merge the two so Ive got one list with all the contacts on in outlook.
Ive tried sync'ing them with active sync but the sim contacts seem to be missing when I go to my PC and look in Outlook. Ive gone into sim manager and tried copying them but it hasn't seem to have done what I want. So I was wondering if there is a way to merge the two so i can back them up and just have one list with the two sets of contacts in.
I hope this makes sense and you guys understand what Im trying to do.
I would really appreciate any help you could give me and explain where im going wrong.

hello bro
i will answer you as much as i understoad you
to show your sim contacts on the list of contacts you have to do the folowing
open contacts and then open the menue and open sim manager
then select all contacts and save to contacts
then they will appear in your contacts list
i hope that what you meant

contacts problem
Thanks for the reply,
I've tried that, but when I go into outlook to view my contacts on my pc there are still contacts missing from the PC that are in my phone. I am not sure if they are sim contacts or ones stored in outlook on the phone.
I guess what im after is something to view/explore the contacts on my phone and sim card on the computer so I can see them infront of me on the computer screen. Then I can save them from the phone and sim card together into one file and merge the sim and phone contacts together to have one list of the two together.
I hope you guys can understand what im trying to achieve and help me out as I would be extreemly greatful.
Thanks,
John

I don't know much of your older device but could you perhaps use a free exchange account? Useful as a back-up?

How delete SIM Contacts?

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!
