About the SIM card phone book

Use the SIM card phone book to access contacts that you have added to your SIM card. The SIM card phone book is different from the address book on your BlackBerry® device. If you switch SIM cards, the contacts in the SIM card phone book change.

You can add ADN entries to your SIM card phone book. You can also search for ADN or SDN entries. ADN entries appear in plain text and SDN entries appear in bold.
