How to copyi all phone contacts to SIM card

Hello, I'm using this really bad network on my blackberry and it's really hard getting any good data service off it. As you'd imagine I wanna change to a better network. I was hoping I could copy all my contacts (they're less than 150) onto the sim memory before changing SIM cards, any ideas how it's done on a blackberry q10 device?

Hello,
Using the SIM as a method of contact list saving is not a good idea IMHO. The BB contact list is robust (multiple phone numbers per person) where the SIM address book is weak (one name and one number only). So, even if you accomplished it, you'd wind up with a mess -- John Smith on your BB has 3 phone numbers...once you use the SIM, he has 3 completely separate entries, one for each of those 3 numbers. Not good.
So, the question comes, what is your actual desire here? Do you wish to migrate your contact data to a different device? Is that other device a BB or something else? Do you have your contacts "in the cloud", so that you can use that as the medium for transfer? Do you have your BB synchronizing with Outlook via LINK? If so, then that could be your method.
More questions than answers, I fear...so we await your reply.
Thanks and let us know!

How to get phone contacts onto sim card off k800i

Hi all's
I am hoping you can help me please. I have a lot of contacts on my k800i they are on my phone memory as far as i can tell. I want to put them directly onto my sim because my screen is cracked and i had to get a new phone. I have all the contacts backed up but i dont want to have to manually add them to my new phone. I just want to transfer them to sim ,pop the sim in my new phone and have my contacts available on my new phone.
I have added a screen shot of the folders but cant find a folder saying contacts or anything like that.
Do any of you know where i can find the folder or file i need to take and import into the sim card or how to do this.
It would be great if some of you could help me. I have attached a screen shot you can see the folders if you need any more let me know.
Thanks in advance for any responses or help.
Kind Regards
John

http://www.fjsoft.at/en/downloads.php Download My Phone Explorer (MPE) to your PC, connect your phone to it via USB (phone has to be in Phone/PC mode) and this will allow you to read/download contacts in both phone memory and SIM card,so that you can either transfer them from phone to SIM, or transfer them directly from SIM to your new phone, if it's compatible with MPE.

How to store phone contacts to sim card on the BB 8900?

I need to know how to store my contacts stored on my 8900 phone to the sim card, as I cannot find an option to do it. Even when I use the desktop manager, I can only recover the contacts to be stored on my phone and not my sim card.
Thanks

Hi there!
I'm a little confused now as to what you desire...the two sentences in your post seem a little bit contradictory. Are you asking how to store your contacts on your SIM? Or are you asking how to backup the contacts that are already stored on your SIM?
Thanks!

Synchronising phone contacts and SIM card contacts

I have a 5300 music express.
Incoming calls or missed calls from contacts recorded on the SIM card are displayed as "no Number".
Unknown calls display the number, and it displays the name for contacts recorded on the phone.
How do I get the phone to stop displaying "No number" for the SIM card contacts?
regards
Will

I think that you misunderstood, none of the contacts are synced with Google and only one is stored on the sim card. The contacts were imported from Backup Assistant when I got the new phone.

Syncing contacts from sim card & merging with outlook

New phone - contacts from sim card were added to iphone. I do not have these in outlook but do have a few other "contacts" in outlook. I would like to keep all of the contacts on the phone and added to outlook. Will I lose my sim phone contacts because outlook contacts will be added to phone?

If you have contact entries on the iphone and the computer to which you are syncing, then you should be able to merge the two when you sync.

How to copy all contacts from my phone memory to my SIM at once?

i have a bb curve 8520... and i want to know how to select all the contacts of my phonebook at once and copy them to my SIM...............

Hello,
You cannot -- it is one at a time, by design. Further, it's not the best place to put your data...anything beyond name and phone number will be lost. Any contact with multiple phone numbers will wind up with multiple entries. Depending on what your true goal is, there is most likely a much better way to accomplish what you need.
Good luck!

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.

Export the information to your Desktop. Stop syncing in iCloud, which should give you the 'On My Mac' option. Then import the information.

How to secure the phone contacts of Asha and other...

Phone contacts are very important assets. It is always advisable to take regular backup of important data for safety.
Here are the different methods to secure your contacts and solutions to solve common contacts problems.
1. Using your phone's sync-and-backup option
To backup the phone contacts using your phone,
go to settings, sync-and-backup, create backup. Mark the contacts and neccessary items you need for backup.
Note: Creating backup doesn't work without memory card.
2. Using Nokia suite
Install the latest version of Nokia suite from here.
Connect your phone to PC using data cable(set Nokia suite mode on phone) or via bluetooth.
Launch the Nokia Suite, open contacts and follow these:
2A. Using drag and drop
You can simply drag and drop the contacts to a folder of your computer as shown:
You can also drag and drop contacts from the PC folder back to Nokia suite.
2B. Using Backup/Restore option of Nokia Suite
To backup or restore using Nokia suite, go to tools-backup/restore.
2C. Using the sync option
You can sync your phone contacts to Nokia suite by default, as well as with Microsoft Outlook.
To sync your contacts to Outlook, open Nokia suite, go to sync-sync options and select Microsoft Outlook in contacts as shown:
After syncing, the contacts of your phone will be copied to both Nokia suite and Microsoft Outlook:
Note: Creating or deleting any contacts in any one of the locations like either phone or Nokia suite or Outlook, updates the same changes in the remaining two places.
It is highly recommended to use drag and drop method to backup contacts instead of sync for simplicity.
3. Common problems with contacts and solutions
3A. Avoiding repeated contacts.
You might have copied all the phone conatcts to SIM card as a backup, but the contacts will be shown twice.
When you have similar contacts in both the SIM card as well as phone, you can change the settings such that either of the SIM contacts or phone contacts are only visible, for this, go to contacts-settings-memory in use and change it to either phone or SIM card.
3B. Deleting the either only SIM or phone contacts.
You can always delete either SIM or phone contacts. Go to contacts-delete all contacts and select either SIM card or phone.
3C. Deleting repeated contacts using PC.
Sometimes the contacts will be repeated in the phone memory itself. To fix this, drag and drop your contacts to a folder and delete all the contacts having parenthesis () as shown:
Now you can delete all the contacts of the phone and copy(drag and drop) the non repeated contacts from the PC back to phone.
4. Recovering the contacts from a corrupted backup file of the phone using PC
There are situations when restoring data fails due to corrupted backup file.
To solve this,
A. Connect the memory card to PC using a card reader.
B. Enable the hidden folders and extension in view or in the folder options, go to memory card/backup folder and copy the .NBF file to your PC.
C. Change the extension of the backup file from .NBF to .ZIP.
D. After renaming, the backup file can be extracted using any compression applications like WinRar or default ZIP manager.
E. The contacts of the backup file can be found at
\Backup000\predefhiddenfolder\backup\WIP\32\contacts.
These contact files can now be copied back to your phone using Nokia suite(using drag and drop method).
