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.

  • How to move all contacts TO the SIM card on an N97

    I have searched and while some topics exist on taking from the sim card using Nokia Suite, none address my issue of moving contacts from phone memory to the SIM Card.
    I have the latest N97 and Nokia Suite updates, but I can find no way to write to the SIM card.
    Thank you in advance to anyone who can help!
    Solved!

    Firstly there is a limit to the number of contacts you CAN copy yo sim, but it is vey simple to copy them !
    Open Contacts>Options>Mark/Unmark>Mark All>Options>Copy>Sim Memory
    and that's it

  • How can i install my t-mobile sim card to iphone 4

    how can i install my t-mobile sim card to an unlocked iphone 4 gsm i got for Christmas?

    Power off the phone. Use a paper clip to pop out the Sim Tray. Insert a Micro-SIM from T-Mobile or a regular SIM cut down to size. Re-insert the SIM tray. Turn the phone back on.
    Keep in mind that 3G data, Visual Voice Mail, MMS messaging, and FaceTime will NOT function correctly on T-Mobile in the US. Some people report getting MMS to work, but you'll need to contact T-Mobile for assistance. T-Mobile in the US is NOT a supported carrier. Their network is not fully compatible with the iPhone.

  • 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.

    You did not ruin the phone, you will need a sim card to activate the phone and then connect the phone to itunes and do a restore from back up.

    How do I get an iPad micro sim card for Austria and Italy?  We purchased one for Germany, but it doesn't cover in Austria or Italy

    Compare the roaming charges from the German carrier with services like those:

    Otherwise buy a pre-paid micro-SIM card for the iPad in each country you visit.

  • 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.

  • 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).

  • 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.
