2.On the Contacts screen, tap New, then select SIM Contact.

3.Enter a contact name and phone number, and then tap OK.

Using SIM Manager

SIM Manager allows you to view the contents of your SIM card, transfer contacts from your SIM card to your device or vice versa, and make a call to a SIM contact.

To create a contact on your SIM card

1.Tap Start > All Applications > SIM Manager.

2.Tap New and enter the contact name and phone number.

3.Tap Save.

To copy SIM contacts to your device

If you have saved contacts on your SIM card, you can copy them into Contacts on your device.

1.On the SIM Manager screen, select the desired contact, or select all SIM contacts by tapping Menu > Select All.

To copy contacts to the SIM card

Only one phone number per contact name can be stored on a SIM card.

2.Select the check boxes of the contact’s phone numbers that you want to copy to your SIM card, then tap Save.

When you copy a contact that has several phone numbers to your SIM card, SIM Manager separately saves each number by appending an indicator at the end of each name.

By default, /M, /W, and /H are appended to indicate mobile, work, and home phone numbers respectively. To edit the default indicators and to select which other types of numbers to save to the SIM card, tap Menu > Tools > Options.

3.Tap Menu > Copy to SIM.

Notes • You cannot copy a sent message from the thread to the SIM card.

•Copying text messages from your device to the SIM card results in duplicate messages in the Inbox when your SIM card is in use.
