Can you copy contacts from PHONE to SIM?

Does anyone know how you copy contact from  your phone memory to your sim card?? I have a backup phone which I use sometime when I go out but when I swap the sim cards over the numbers aren't ont here and I end up retyping them all.

Hello,
See this KB:
KB04205Copy a contact to your SIM phone book
To my understanding, it is a one-by-one function and not an "all" function. Mainly I believe this to be due to the fact that the SIM can only contain one phone number per contact while the BB Address Book can contain multiple addresses per contact.
Good luck!

    iPhones do not write to a SIM card. They can read contacts already on a card but will not write to one.

  • Can't copy contacts from device to SIM on Blackberry Z10

    Good day!
    I'm trying to copy the contacts from device Blackberry Z10 to a sim-card, I go to the Contacts in menu, click "Copy contacts from your device to a sim-card", the phone displays "some information about the contact will not be copied to the sim-card," I go to the call, Contacts (on SIM), as seen nothing to copy, as it was a couple of contacts and left. Tell me, are there any other ways to copy the contacts from your device to SIM?
    Thanks in advance!

    that guide covers what the BB developers were supposed to implement. That fact is that in OS 10.1 it doesn't work that way. But most BB OS 10 functionality is still Alpha quality, not fully working, even core apps like Text messaging don't really work acceptably well for a production device. 

  • Can you copy contacts from iphone 3gs to a pc?

    I want to copy my contacts from iphone 3gs to pc so i can copy them back to my new iphone 4 is that possible?

    Contacts are designed to be synced with a supported address book application on your computer. With XP, this can be with Outlook 2003, 2007, or with 2010 if 2010 is supported with XP along with syncing calendar events and notes, or with the address book app used by Outlook Express called Windows Contacts for syncing contacts only. Not a good idea to depend on your iPhone or on any cell phone alone for this data which can be lost or stolen.
    If you don't have Outlook available and you don't use Windows Contacts - Windows Contacts is empty, before the first sync for this data, enter one contact in Windows Contacts. This will provide a merge prompt with the first sync for this data, which you want to select. Syncing contacts with Windows Contacts is selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.

    how can i import contacts from my regular sim to iphone 5 (nano sim)

    Sync the phone with the regular sim to the appropriate program on your
    computer. When you set up the iPhone 5 in iTunes on that computer, you
    will be offered the chance to import the contacts, etc.
    Or take old phone and new iPhone to your wireless provider. They have the
    equipment to do this quickly.

  • Can I copy contacts from iPhone to iPad

    Can I copy contacts from iPhone to iPad

    Sort of........I'm going to assume you're a Windows person?  When you sync your iPhone, you would direct where you store the iPhone contacts.  Again, assuming you're Windows, you have the option to store them in Windows, Yahoo or Google.  You do this by opening your iPhone after sync and click Information above, which is where the option to store them in Windows, Google or Yahoo is.  Once you've done that, then getting them to your iPad is easy.  After you sync your iPad, open it like you did your iPhone and again click the Information tab above and tell iPad where the contact should sync from (Windows, Google or Yahoo).

  • How do I copy contacts from an old SIM card?

    Is there a way to copy contacts from an old SIM card to the iPhone? Thanks

    the process i went thru was vigorous but it started by going to at&t and they sold me a flash drive for $15 and they transfered my numbers on there and then when i got home i had to go to att.com/support and type into the frequently asked questions, transfering contacts from sim to iphone and they gave me a program to download which extracted the numbers onto outlook and then i just synced my contacts from outlook but the at&t store will make it sound simpler than it seems

    NO.

    itunes will now look more like itunes 10.
    You can click on your device in the lefthand window as before
    You may prefer to use the Music Sync page to select or deselect Playlists, Artists, Albums etc and click apply.
    Delete your files is enabled by ticking the Manualy manage music option on the Device Summary page. You may have to scroll down to find it

  • How to copy contacts from IPhone to SIM if i need to change my phone?

    I want to change my phone. How do i copy my contacts to SIM?

    Download your contacts to address book in OSX or Outlook on a windows PC  then when you get a differing phone model load up any software supplied for syncing this device and then upload your contacts.
    As said the SIM card used in GSM iPhones only carries mobile network information.The address book app stores your data within your onboard flash memory.
