Import phone contacts to sim

how can i import my contacts back to my sim card

The iPhone could just read the Contacts FROM the Sim card. The problem is: The records in the adress book can store much more informations than the SIM card. The card could store just name and phone number, the VCard on the iPhone much more like address, notes, birthday etc.

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!

Why I can't sync/import my contacts from SIM card to iphone?

Having set up the account in itunes and syncing finished, I can't find the contacts in my iphone under 'contacts' or 'phone', why?
Is is possible that my outlook is not an updated version??

Iphone does not save to the SIM card.
If you have another SIM card that has contacts on it, then use the direction in the manual under settings to import them into the iphone:
Import contacts from a SIM: Choose “Mail, Contacts, Calendars,” then tap Import SIM
Contacts.
The contact information on the SIM is imported to iPhone. If you have Contacts
enabled for both MobileMe and Microsoft Exchange, you’re prompted to choose which
account you want to add the SIM contacts to."

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.

Export and import the windows phone contacts as .vcf file to the application

Hi, I need to export the windows phone contacts as .vcf file and import it to my windows phone application. I'm unable to import the full details of a contact. Is there any sample code to export and import phone contacts programmatically. Please
help if there is any solution. Thanks.
Nikitha

Found this on the internet:

If you download the Lumisoft.Net.Zip and extract it looks like there is a vCard folder with some classes that may help you.
You will need to use something like that or search a bit more and find a vCard C# Helper library.

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.

Import Contacts from SIM simply does nothing!

Hi All, I have new iphone 3g, and want to import my contacts from my old Orange SIM (the contacts have all been copied to SIM). I enter the SIM and select "Import from SIM" in the settings --> Calendar, Contacts etc section. The message says "Importing contacts" but then nothing! Nothing in my contacts, no failure messages, nothing!
Someone please help, I cat sync my old phone with outlook either. DISPAIR!

Some people have reported that it can take a little bit for the iPhone to translate and update your contact list.
Give it about an hour and check back to see if they have updated.

When I import my contacts from the sim they do not save and I cant see how to save them? Anyone ideas?

Hi. I saved the contacts from previous phone onto the sim. I'm going to 'Import SIM Contacts". After I've imported the contacts and go to Contatcs after that they are all there, but they seem to disappear again as if they're not saved. This happens no matter how many times I import them.

Unablt to import contacts from SIM

We have just purchased the iphone 4s, and are unable to import contacts from the sim card. From comments posted on the web, this is a common problem and the suggested fix is to use an application called simport 1.0. Can anyone advise me if this is the correct fix, and where I can download this ap from. Thank you

You can only apps from the App Store, using modified software on your phone will void your warranty.
See if you can sync your old phone contacts to your supported program, for example address book, on your computer and choose this program to sync your contacts from when your connect your iPhone to iTunes.
