Contacts issues - send contacts to at&t phone book or sim card? and un able to unsync email contact list with phone contact list

I have had several issues with my contacts on this phone. I cannot figure out how to send my contacts to the at&t phone book or to my sim card. The options/menu button in contacts is completely useless. It should give me the option on the sim card to transfer contacts form one list to another. I have already written on another forum about the contact list not letting me unsync one of my email contact lists and how I have 3 copies of all of my contacts because my email contacts are mixed in with my phone contacts.
BB really needs to fix this issue with the contact list because it is beyond frustrating. I even downloaded the new BB software today and it still hasn't been fixed.

OK...so this post is strictly about wanting to send your contacts to the SIM. That capability is one at a time only. And there's a reason for that.
The BB Address Book is robust, allowing you to have one name with multiple phone numbers and addresses. The SIM phonebook, on the other hand, is much less capable...if, for instance, you have one contact with three phone numbers in your BB Address Book, the SIM phonebook would require three separate entries to contain the same data (with the obvious duplication of the name on three separate records).
So, I must ask...why on earth do you want to send your contacts to your SIM? There are much better methods for moving your contacts from the BB to somewhere else...

HT4061 Restored Phone had no sim card and is now locked. Wanted to use as Ipod

I have an old Iphone and was not using. It dosen't have a sim card. I intended to use it like or like an ipod. I did a restore and now it is locked and message on phone says to install a sim card. I don't want to use it as a phone. What can I do to get it to work likw an ipod.

If your old phone was locked to a carrier, the sim must be from the carrier it was locked to (but does not have to have active service).

Reading phone book from SIM card

Hi,
Is there any API or programming framework that supports importing the phonebook from the SIM card. I am using java wireless toolkit and nokia 9500. I need to import the phone book from the sim card.
Thanks in advance.

I think maybe you can see JSR177.It has defined the APDU and STK way to access sim card.But I don't think it's good for your requirement.

How can I set up two iPhones with the same contact, photos, music etc... but a different sim card and phone number. They will both be my phones, but one will be for use in other countries.

Phone A = phone with information you want duplicated
Phone B = phone that you want to copy from A
Backup Phone A.
Wipe Phone B using these instructions. What to do before selling or giving away your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Phone B should be on the 'Hello' screen. Do not swipe it. Launch iTunes. Plug in Phone B.
When iTunes asks if you want to set up as new phone or restore from backup, choose restore from backup of Phone A.
After this setup, any changes to one phone (i.e. adding a contact, downloading an app) will have to be manually duplicated on the second phone, if that is your desire). Making changes to one phone will not affect the other after setup.

You do a restore as new to wipe the iPhone then at the end of restore you will be asked to restore from backup. Choose your iPhone backup.
Note you cannot restore an IOS newer than the IOS on iPhone, you need to update iPhone first.

How do i copy contacts from my phone to my sim card?

I want to copy my contacts from my phone to my sim card so i can then activate my new iphone 4s, but i cannot find the option to do this.

Is the old phone an iPhone as well, or another brand? If another brand, then you'd have to ask in some other non-Apple forum. But your sig mentions an iPhone 3GS, then you need to sync your data to iTunes on your mac/pc. Then sync the new iPhone 4s to get the data onto it.

I plugged my iphone 4 up to itunes and it reset my phone to the factory settings and removed all of my emails, texts, appd and contact list. How can I retore my previous settings and information?

I plugged my iphone 4 up to itunes and it reset my phone to the factory settings and erasaed all of my emails, texts, apps, and recently added contacts. How can I restore my previous settings and information?

iTunes doesn't just restore a phone to factory settings all by itself. You must have selected the incorrect button.
In any case, if there was a previous backup of your phone, you can restore your phone from this backup. Any new data you added to your phone since this backup is gone.
If you have no backup, then your data is gone.

I have more than 1000 contacts in my etisalat sim card, but when I import the contats its stop at 750 contacts, what is wrong? i read the phone can carry thousands of contacts..what shall i do?

Thanks, it seems that it doesn't like to play games, which is a bit of a bummer as i bought this specifically because it was capable of doing that. To be fair, it is capable... I just need to get used to a sound like sitting by a washing machine on spin cycle... Wish they would make people aware of this in the Apple Store, its very misleading and not at all desireable.

How do I create a group distribution email list with my contacts?

I have many contacts and need to create email distribution lists with my contacts. It is too difficult to choose each contact with every email. How do I create a group contact list with my contacts on iCloud?

Hello there, swcoxdpm.
The following Knowledge Base article provides information on creating Group Contacts in Mavericks on your Macbook Air:
Mail (Mavericks): Address messages
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14922
Use a group address
If you regularly send messages to the same group of people, you can save them as a group in Contacts, then use the group address to email them.
Group contacts
The steps to do that, are found here:

Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

Iphone 5 - SIM card and contacts

Are new contacts stored on the SIM card and how do you see what is on the SIM card? Also, why does an old contact name and number (one that is no longer in my contacts app) appear when i start to enter the name of the person i am sending the text to? And lastly, in the same "new message" app when i am trying to compose a new text message and i click on the + symbol to add a new contact, my contacts are displayed in order by last name instead of first name (i have already gone to settings, contacts, sort order and display order and set it to first, last?

Iphone stores NOTHING on the SIM card.

What is a SiM card and do I need one in order to send email from my iPad?

What is a SIM card and do I need one in order to be able to send email from my iPad?

For further detail, a SIM card is a very small, thin, printed circuit card which you insert into a tiny drawer in your mobile device. It is your mobile/cellular account, with your personal details on it. So you can move it from one device to another. Before smartphones (like the iPhone), SIM cards also contained your Contact list. Since smartphones contain so much information now, the SIM card just identifies you to the cellular/mobile network. It means you can carry your phone number with you from one phone to another.
You can get a SIM card for iPad from any Apple Store or phone shop. Note that the newer iPhones and the iPads use what's called a "micro-SIM", which is smaller than a regular SIM card, so it takes up less room inside the phone, and they can stick more hardware in there for better performance. Make sure you ask for a "micro-SIM for iPad".
As Rudegar says, you don't need a SIM in your iPad if you always have WiFi access. But if you need to send email or messages outside a WiFi network, then you need a SIM, so you can access the cellular/mobile phone tower network.
You can get prepaid SIM cards which give you so much data for a certain period of time. You need to decide how much data you need, and how often you want to "recharge" it. The salespeople should be able to help you work that out.

I have iphone4s in Shanghai, China, but I cannot use it to make a phone outside Shanghai. I have already changeded my SIM card and upgraded the iOS to 5.1 vision. Now can I slove it?

It's not clear what you mean. Do you mean you can't place a call to anyone outside of Shangai? That would be an issue with the calling plan you have with your carrier. Contact them. Likewise, if you can not place a call when you are outside your coverage area, that is also a carrier issue. If you are trying to use a different carrier while travelling, it's possible your phone is carrier locked and you can not use the carrier you are trying to use.

TS1398 My phone says no sim card. what do I do??

My brand new phone says 'no sim card'. what do I do?

Try removing the SIM and putting it back. Try resetting the phone by pressing and holding the power and Home buttons until the silver apple appears. Contact AT&T for a new SIM.

It will not work with an egyptian SIM unless it is first unlocked first by Vodafone UK. Only Vodafone UK can unlock your phone. Contact them.

My iMessage won't activate my email but will with phone number. I type my password and it says it's wrong I change it and it still says its wrong. I even made a new account and it still says the password is wrong.
