Anyone know of a good program to manage the SIM card contents and synchronize it with Pocket Outlook? The built-in manager is crap, and it takes forever to make a backup of your contacts to a SIM if you have more contact numbers than SIM slots. (You have to manually de-select enough numbers so it will fit.) I'd like to keep my SIM up-to-date so I can swap it into a standard phone as desired.

When I want to write a new SMS, and click on the contact list button to select a number, I only get all the contacts stored in the xda's memory, and not from the SIM. What am I doing wrong?
The xda doesn't access anything from the sim directly....only uses the sim manager program. Copy the entries to the main phone book to use them as described.
There are no options when u go to the persons file, and press the menu button.
I want to transfer the contacts to sim card, because I use two phones, anyone know how this can be done?
There's a free app on the marketplace called "Contact2Sim" that does that
With the new update 1.2.A.1.174 there's a new option on contact menu and you can directly do it without any app.
Anybody know how to clear your sim card's contacts?
You can find in Market "Contact Remover"
Hello,i wanted to set up my most called contacts as shorcuts on the home screen on my Evo,but when i chose shorcut>direct call it gives me only people with phone numbers imported from my facebook account.Is there a way to give me the contacts from my sim card only so i choose among them.I tried with people widget,but in all groups it gives me to choose from contacts from my gmail acc,only in the frequent group displayed me the contacts from my sim card,since they were the ones i called mostly.
So how do i get the phones on my screen from the sim card as shorcut?-or i should use another app from the android market.
P.S. In people i've set the options to show me only contacts from sim card and phone memory.

Try this.... Go to your "people" app and open it. Click the phonebook tab at the top, it'll let you choose which contacts to show. That's how it works on the Rom I use, (mikrunny 3.5 sense) might be different on yours. Hope this helps.
This is what to show in people app,in my case when i pick address book ,yeah i see only people from sim card.But i wonder why when i try to add the contacts as shortcut dials,i see only the ones from facebook.
is there anyone who tried to make such speed dials and experienced such difficulties?
P.s. Anyway thanks for the try
Hello Members, I've just starting to get to grips with the XZU. I've also done various Google searches on the info I'm looking for so help would be great thanks.
The problem is I'd like to keep my contacts on the SIM card, and also save them by default to the SIM card, trouble is, if I go to my contacts the only option I can see is to copy them to the phone, if I go to the SMS app and want to add a recipient none of my contacts are shown but if someone calls they appear in the call log with there contact name, so the phone is seeing my contacts in the SIM card.
So all I'd like is to continue to save new contacts to the SIM card, but also have the XZU get it's contact list from the SIM card.
Help would really be great as I'm lost to now know all my numbers (stupid I know).
Regards
Livo
Just to report regarding my post, the answer is 'no', the contacts have to be imported to the phone, this has come from Sony direct, although when the time comes any new contacts should be able to be exported back to the SIM card for future use.
Regards
I think it is an android limitation... I tried on my Galaxy Note (custom JB rom) and my old xperia x10 (custom GB rom).. both of them dont have export to sim option...
Maybe because with the current capabilities of phones, manufacturers dont see the need of saving contacts to SIM anymore...? :what:

Hey I have a bit of a complicated issue. Basically my dad recently left the company he's working at. Over there they supplied him with a company phone (Samsung S3) and a company SIM card, upon leaving he was asked to return the SIM card but not the phone. He had a lot of personal conversations saved on the phone/whatsapp account which he saved to google drive before he wiped the phone (he thought that the company would ask for it back and so he chose to erase all data). Now that he's been allowed to keep the phone, he'd like to restore all the chats he previously had, however they are attached to the old (company) SIM card, meaning that when he verifies his new number on the app, he is not given the option to restore backed up chats even though they are saved on his google drive.
Put short, he has the chats saved on google drive, however he isn't prompted to restore them because he's using a new mobile number.
Is there any way to restore the old chats without having access to the old whatsapp number (because he has already returned his SIM card).
