copy contact list to sim card....not one by one but all!

I know how to copy tel numbers from telephone memory to sim card in a one by one way. How can I copy all numbers in one action?

Please use plain text.

Re: copy contact list to sim card....not one by one but all!

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!

 

You can't...the way it is built is one by one. My theory on the "why" is that the SIM contact list is a very poor substitute for the full BB contact list...the SIM can only handle one number per contact while the BB contact list has the full richness that it has. Further, if the intent is backup -- using the RIM desktop software for backup/restore is much more preferable. Further still, if the intent is to migrate the contacts to another device via the SIM, RIM provides a device switch wizard that accomplishes that without sacrificing the richness of the contact list.

 

Cheers!
