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).

Ovi suite doesn't show contact details set to stan...

Hi,
I am using right now the latest for me available version of Ovi Suite 2.2.0.245 but the problem started to appear 2 or 3 updates before already.
I am using Ovi suite on a Vista 32bit german machine.
My mobile is a E71 v400.21.013 connected normally via Bluetooth (but cable shows same problem)
I started to define some contact details (e.g. mobile (home) as default for phoning and sms) and now ovi suite syncs and shows everything but theses defaults. On the mobile the details are still there (luckily).
The messages part of the ovi suite shows for those entries just the numbers and not the contact names anymore.
Can someone tell me how to fix it or at least how to undefine these standards?
Thanks in advance

Hi issue fixed by pressing "Refresh " in the choose receipt screen .
regards

PC Suite doesn't show the messages in memory card

Hei,
Phone - 6210 Navigator
PC Suite - 7.1
Memory in use: Memory card
When I open the Communication Centre from PC Suite, it doesn't show the messages. In the left pane, number of messages in the folders is shown as zero. This happens if the memory is set to memory card.
On the other hand, if I set the memory to Phone memory, the messages are shown properly. Why is this happening and what's the solution?
When I tried to take a backup, all data, except messages, is backed up.
Few days back, I could access all the messages via PC Suite. It worked fine. But, now, there's some problem.
I've lots of messages in the memory card & I wanna move them to different folders. How else can I do it?

Hello,
I think I found the cause of the problem. There's some problem with the memory card.
I set the memory for Camera also to memory card and when I take a snap, something something happens. If I set the memory to phone memory, it works fine.
But, I can access the files/folders in the memory card both from the mobile & via PC Suite.
Now, my question is "How do I retrieve the messages from the memory card?"
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

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.

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.

Is there any way to retrieve my contacts from the iPhone 3G, after I imported my contacts to my sim card within the settings, mail

Is there a way to retrieve my contacts back into my 3G iPhone?
I was trying to save my contacts by importing my contacts to my sim card by going into settings, mail-contacts and then hit the Import SIM Contacts.
It wiped out ALL of my contacts and I'm freaking out!!
Can anyone please help?

Same answer as the last time you asked:
Is there a way to retrieve my contacts back into my 3G iPhone?

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.

I connected my iphone 3g to itunes which was in 4.1 firmware and itunes ask for an update which i downloaded an updated the phone to version 6.1.3 but my phone cannot start it shows no service my sim card is not getting network and i cannot use the phone.

First, you do not have a 3G if you could upgrade it to 6.1.3, because 4.2.1 is the last version that will work on the 3G. So you either have a 3GS or you somehow hacked the phone to install an incompatible version. You can check the model you have by entering your serial number here: https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do
Assuming you have a 3GS the most likely reason for your problem is you have a gray market phone that was hacked or jailbroken to unlock it. When you upgraded it you removed the hack, so the phone is now locked to its original carrier.

My IPhone doesn't seem to have a sims card tray. Please help

My IPhone doesn't seem to have a sims card tray. I would like to change the sims card but I can not find the sims card tray. I have looked on the right side and on top of my phone but its not there. I have a Iphone4 and Verizon as my carrier. How do I change my sims? Or can I change my sims card? Please help me I would greatly apperciate it.

The Verizon iPhone 4 is a CDMA phone and as such has no SIM. Ergo there's no way to change a SIM and no way to use the phone with another carrier, if that's what you wanted to do.
Regards.

Try popping out the SIM card and turn off the phone.
Pop in the SIM card once again and turn on the phone, make sure that the SIM card is placed and seated perfectly in the tray!
Tell me how did you unlock your phone!?

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.

Can I save my contacts to my sim card

can I save my contacts to my sim card?

No, the iPhone does not save anything to the SIM cards.
SIM cards have a very limited capacity anyway, and can't store the wealth of contact information an iPhone can.
