I'm a Nokia 7 plus user. In contacts, both the email address and sim contacts are displayed. Is there any way to show only contacts with phone numbers?

I'm an android noob, just came over from the iPhone camp so please bear with me..
I've had the sgs for a couple of days and so far been trying to get a good handle on managing my contacts...
I used to backup / sync my iphone in itunes and my company outlook. I had a recent backup of my contacts in outlook, so the easiest way to get them on the android was to sync them over...
Now they show up in my corporate group.
Then I sync'd my facebook and it did a decent job of linking most of my contacts (I really like the way android does this as opposed to iphone)
I also had a recent list of contacts on my sim since I had been iphone-less for a couple of months and was using the old nokia flipper.
Now I have a couple of questions...
I've got my contacts display options only showing me the corporate and facebook groups (with phone numbers) .. so the list looks good !!! however when I send or receive a text message, it also shows all my sim contacts. A few of my sms threads were linked to the sim contact (only first name, no picture etc) .. the only way i found to resolve this was to delete that particular contact off my sim...
question 1) how do you delete all sim contacts ? (couldnt find a select all)
question 2) do I really have to delete my sim contacts? or can I disable it altogether so it won't show anywhere in my phone
question 3) next time I get some cute girl's phone number, it'll get stored as a "phone" contact .. how do I keep my corporate (outlook) contacts in sync with phone contacts... or can I put her number right in the corporate (outlook) group so it stays in sync with my exchange account ..
I don't want to end up with a bunch of numbers as phone contacts and another bunch as outlook / corporate contacts. I'd like to be able to back it all up somehow (like itunes would backup the iphone and sync with outlook)
Thanks for your insight and wisdom
if you are having trouble using Kies to manage your contacts, you can try this better alternative

I installed android manager .. still no way to delete all sim contacts !!! amazes me why such a simple task is just not possible...
well good thing i have my 8 year old nokia phone that does it for me
Also annoying that I cant just turn off sim contacts so I won't have to delete all of them (another thing 8 year old nokia just does!)
indeed we have apps like this

to copy contacts to SIM
but we have nothing to manage contacts from SIM
LOL
That's cool .. I plugged the sim in the nokia and wiped all of its contacts .. not the android doesnt get confused anymore..
now if i could only find that patch to fix my sms time stamps .. i'd be a happy android camper.. I tried 3rd party sms apps, but they dont seem to read my "exchange corporate" contacts .. so every text shows with just the phone number .. sigh
to hide your sim contacts on samsung galaxy S use the options :
contacts->menu->display option->choose contacts to display "UNCHECK SIM"
hope this helps
Hi,
i want to know two things
1. i have save the contact, but still when the person send me sms, its number is comming on the name why?
2. i have deleted contacts like emails from contact list, but when cell sync with google account it shows again the contacts with emails, how i restrict to show only numbers or delete them permanently?
thx
bump.....!!!!
So i recently got myself a Samsung galaxy s3 mini and after disabling my Facebook, Skype contacts from my phone book to show just sim contacts i thought that would be it. I notice that when i want to send a text message to someone all my contacts show from all my accounts. I'm not sure how to get rid of these, I don't want to delete the accounts just hide them. Does anyone know how to hide other contacts from sms contact list and only show sim contacts
After i updated to Sense 6 the other day, I suddenly can't save contact.
When i get a new number, i write the name etc in the contact and save the contact.
But after rebooting nothing is saved, and i'm back to only having the number, no name etc.
It seems to work when i save on SIM but not when i save on exchange, where the rest of my contact are.
It seems i can't sync from HTC -> exchange or from exchange ->HTC
I try to setup a new contact in outlook and sync on my htc, but its not showing up on my mobil.
I sat up a new contact on my mobil and sync,,but nothing shows up in outlook.
It will sync my mail and calendar, BUT not my contacts.
I have noticed that my sync is sat to OFF, and don't really know how to set it to ON.?
