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!

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.

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.

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 import iPhone contacts to SIM Card?

I am buying a new phone, and I have a lot of contacts on my SIM. I don't know how to transfer my iPhone contacts to my SIM?

Maybe if you gave us some clue what kind of phone you're getting... If you're getting a newer iPhone, then all you have to do is back up the old one, and restore it to the new one. If you sync contacts with a cloud service that's compatible with your new phone, you can just sync them down. Virtually no modern smartphones actually store contacts on the SIM. The format for contact storage on a SIM card can only hold a fraction of the information many people keep for their contacts.

You can't. iPhone stores no data on a sim card.

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.

Then from where did you think you could recover your data?

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 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.

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...

You can't. iPhone stores no data on a sim card.
Your carrier may be able to do so at one of their stores, but you can't do so using your phone.
