SIM and phone memory

The communicator contains contact information accessible from either the phone interface (when the cover is closed) or the communicator interface (when the cover is open). You may copy contact information between these interfaces only from the phone interface (see Chapter 13 "Phone interface: Detailed menus list - Memory functions (Menu 8)" on page 13-13.

When you open the cover, you will be prompted to confirm the copying of the SIM memory contents into the Contacts directory, as described in Chapter 2 "Getting started: SIM card" on page 2-2. Select Cancel if you do not want to copy the SIM memory.
