Can I save my contacts to my sim card

can I save my contacts to my sim card?

No, the iPhone does not save anything to the SIM cards.
SIM cards have a very limited capacity anyway, and can't store the wealth of contact information an iPhone can.

Can I save contacts in my sim card

I was wondering if I can save my contacts in the sim card

Hi,
I have to agree with Friskle. Why should I have to choose between all the great new things the iPhone provides and all the great old things other phones have been doing for years ? For the price I'm paying, I want everything, not just what Apple is ready to give me.
And how can they justify that the iPhone is delivered without even a pdf User Manual ? Intuitive ? Not in the least for me...
How can they justify that it's so complicated to use an mp3 as a ringtone ? Yes, I do write and record my own music and would like to use one of these as my ringtone.
How can they justify that the GPS function is actually only a "positioner" and that third party navigators are not allowed on the iPhone ? Talk about sheer marketing genius...
How can they explain that iTunes is the most complicated piece of software to transfer music ? (Look: have your mp3/photos recognized by iTunes, copy them to your library, copy them from the library to the iPhone/iPod device, click synchronize... and hope the synchronize function doesn't set your iPhone to another language, which happened to me and to others, in which case you will not be able to access the App Store of your country anymore. This is laughable. Transferring music or photos should be done in one drag-an-drop gesture).
No wonder everyone quickly learns the appropriate word "jailbreak" when they get their iPhone. (I got mine last week, and no, it's not jailbroken. Yet).
No wonder Apple's truely great ideas are quickly copied by others who can do better : Microsoft did it years ago with Windows, no doubt Nokia and others will do it too.
Cheers,

How can I save my contact sheets in Photoshop Lightroom?

How can I save my contact sheets in Photoshop Lightroom? I see that you create the sheets under the Print tab but how can I save them as jpgs to my desktop?

Kittie,
I use this workflow and it works really well for me; it's really strange that it
i did
work for you and now it doesn't.
I had a quick dabble and
i may
have an explanation. If I read your error message it looks like "New Folder" is trying to create a folder ~kittie/Desktop/3 Working/Contact Pages. However, the automator "create folder" won't create folders recursively like that - it will only work if "3 Working" already exists. Certainly I was able to reproduce the 'quick flash error message and bomb out with no results' effect by asking it to produce a directory from one that didn't already exist. When I added two Finder actions it didn't work as I expected - producing 74 files in subdirectories that just looped round and round when I expected one file and one directory.
I added a shell script that renames the files too and it all works just dandy for me. If you let me know your e-mail I'll post the automator "app" file and shell script I use. It gives you sensibly named files instead of the sdkjfdfadkljfb.jpeg thing that comes out of automator.

Can I use Itunes to sync my contacts to my sim-card?

well, same question as above is asked, Can I use iTunes to copy all my contacts to my Sim-card to use them on another phone witch can't be syncronised with iTunes? anfd if I can do that, How?? Please help me if you can.

No. The iPhone stores no data on a sim card, thus there is no way to do what you want using iTunes.

Save contact info to sim card

I have made many, many changes to my contacts list. I inadvertantly hit the import sim contacts in the settings menu and added all of the "old" contact info back into the phone. I know I can restore from my computer to the phone but, is there a way to write the "new" contacts info to the sim card?
TIA

In a word, no.
The iPhone does not support storing contacts on the SIM card, which is limited to a name and a couple of phone numbers.
The iPhone is designed to be synced with a supported application on your computer for contact info. Not a good idea to depend on your cell phone alone for this data anyway regardless if very limited contact info can be stored on the SIM card since a phone can be lost or stolen.
With Vista, this can be with Outlook 2003 or 2007 along with syncing calendar events, or with the address book used by Windows Mail - Windows Contacts for syncing contacts only. If you don't have Outlook 2003 or 2007 available and you don't use Windows Contacts - it is empty - doesn't include any contacts, before the fist sync with Windows Contacts enter one contact in Windows Contacts. Make this contact up if needed, which can be deleted later. This will provide a merge prompt with the first sync for this data, which you want to select. After the first sync and merge, you can clean up your contacts with Windows Contacts - delete any duplicates, etc. followed by another sync.

Is there any way to retrieve my contacts from the iPhone 3G, after I imported my contacts to my sim card within the settings, mail

Can anyone please help?

Same answer as the last time you asked:

PC Suite doesn't show contacts stored in SIM card ...

I own a Nokia 6230i v. 03.88 RM-72, and am using PC Suite 6.84.10.4 on Windows XP SP2.
I found out that:
1. PC Suite doesn't show in the Contacts folder those which are recorded in the SIM card, but only those from the phone memory. Why's that?
2. PC Suite doesn't update its displayed list of contacts: after I add one (through PC Suite or on the phone) the display list is unchanged. To reload it, I have to delete manually its stored database (in C:\Documents and Settings\MyLogin\Application Data\PC Suite\nnnnnn\nnnnnn.db (where nnnnnn is a string of 15 digits).Message Edited by miklos on 28-Aug-200701:59 AM

It's never been a technical problem. You can connect your phone and type in a super terminal using AT command to show/save/delete any contact/sms in sim card.
To do it in AT Command, you have to maintain two sets of protocol (one for AT command access, the other for phone memory access). I think Nokia just doesn't want to handle the complexity (while most 3rd party apps do).

I damaged my iPhone 4. I have ordered a new 4s. I never backed up or synced my contacts onto my sim card. Do you have to do that manually or will my contacts be on my phone when I put my sim card in the new iPhone 4s?

The iPhone under normal circumstances does not store contacts on the SIM Card. It can read them, but again under normal circumstances does not write them to the SIM Card.
When you sync your new iPhone to iTunes on your usual computer you can restore from a Back-Up of your old iPhone to get Contacts and other data and files installed on your new iPhone.

Delete contacts on my SIM card

I have E72 and I would like to delete all contacts on my SIM card?
In my contacts, only those from the phone are displayed and not sim card, however, when i recieve a call the name of the person in the SIM card appear and not the Phone contacts. i.e. in my since phone 9321456 is Joe but I create Joe in my phone contacts and named him Joe Doe 9321456. When he calls I see Joe and not the new Joe Doe. So I wan to delete all contacts from my SIM card please.

You can do that by going to Contacts->Options->Settings->Contacts->Contacts to display->Sim memory. After that its just to delete the once that you see on your contacts list.

How do I erase contacts on my SIM card?

I upgraded from an original iPhone to a 3GS. Afterwards it seems that I have duplicate contacts because my SIM has contacts stored on it. How do I erase the SIM card so I don't have this problem with duplication?
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

As provided, there are no contacts on your SIM card.
The duplicate contacts issued has been asked and answered on these forums many times.
You can do a forum search and find out more.

Can i use my iphone without a sim card as a ipod

can i use my iphone without a sim card as a ipod?

The SIM card is not required to use an iPhone as an iPod or to be used for anything else besides cell phone related services.
For a no longer activated iPhone, the no longer activated SIM card that was used with the iPhone when it was activated must be inserted in the iPhone in order to install an iOS update and for no other reason.

A legitimately unlocked iPhone should work with any compatible 3G GSM carrier. The iPhone, however, is considered 'restricted technology, and cannot be legally taken to Iran.
