I think this is very popular issue, but I don't find any solution.
I use my SIM to store all phone numbers.
I will be very very very happy to use SIM as default destination of all new contacts.
No whats happening:
I save number in phone.
Next I copy this number in to SIM with SIM manager
Next I delete the number from phone memory
3-4 minutes for one contact and many potential mistakes....
Thank you.
Anyone?
I can't believe there is no solution
I tried a while ago for a friend of mine to et that working and didn't have any luck...
I think most people aren't going to use the SIM to store contacts as you can't do any of the advanced stuff with sim contacts(custom ringtones, attaching a pic, etc.)
i had the same problem and i finally chose to copy my sim contacts to my phone's memory and delete everything from sim... the only good thing (in my opinion) is the hability to add pictures to contacts..

I have the dash flashed to the Rogers wm6 ROM which is about 10x smoother/faster than the Tmoboile wm6...
But anyway, one thing i always hated with the tmobile was that if i was type alpha characters to find contact to dial, during my query, it would Automatically popup with (see below, dont know how to take a screenshot):
Dialer (Title)
Confirm
--------------------------------
Dial XXX at (yyy) - yyy-yyyy?
--------------------------------
Yes | No |
--------------------------------
How do i disable this? its really annoying because 99% of the time, the name that its asking to dial is incorrect and usually the same, ...ex. ill type the letters S A R for sarah, as soon as i see sarah in the list, this damn auto thing comes up saying (before i get the chance to select), Dial Chris at (xxx) -xxx-xxxx?
I was hoping this would go away with the rogers wm6, but alas it has not..
thanks for any help.
sim number
It try to dial number in sim card. example if you type ra, it also mean 3#. (dial number location 3 in sim). I solve it by delete all numbers in Sim card. Hope this help.
Ah that makes sense, is there any way to disable that without deleting my SIM contacts and using phone mem?
i don't have this problem and i have all my contacts backed up on the sim.
i don't know the solution... but just wanted to point out that i don't think you should have to delete all your sim contacts to fix. unless it has something to do with you ONLY having your contacts on your sim. i use the phone for my contacts and just have everything on the sim for backup only.
I try to disable SIM contact in setting-phone-call option but it does not help.
I have been using touch 4.01 for a while now and I really like it. The only problem I have is when it comes to making calls (the main reason for a phone).
When I go to contacts and try to display a list, all I get is a list of contacts that I have already made a call to (i.e. history) not the actual list from my sim card. I thought that maybe my sim was not being read but when I start to dial a number (If I happen to know it) It will come up with the persons name. Unfortunately If I don't know the number I can't dial them.
The only way I have been able to work round this is to go to favorite people and add a new person (as from here it will display the whole contact list). Unfortunately favourite people can only hold 8 numbers.
Basically I want to know how to show my contact list that is on my sim card and not the numbers I have already dialed.
Thanks in advance but It's really starting to bug me now.

May U run SIM Manager in Program/Accesories and copy all contact to Your PPC or run Advanced Config in Settings, line "Show Sim Contact" and active "Yes" and Reset your PPC.
Goodluck
hey guys, i have my contact list in people NOT to show the contacts on my sim card cause they are already into the phone with all the info and more. but when i search people or type the receiver into the TO box in messages etc they all appear again. is there a way to disable them completely?????
WITHOUT DELETING THEM cause i might use the sim card into another phone!!!
i would like to know this as well. they also show in the contact list under the phone dialer.
So I have a TMobile G2. Straight out the box, with no customization what-so-ever. My only problem is the stock messaging. I'm able to add pictures to my contacts and when I text them their picture shows up in the thread. But for my own picture, its a greyed out box. How do I get my own pic to show up?

Have you tried adding yourself as a contact?
If you go into settings>about phone>status>my phone number will say "unknown" correct?
Even if you add yourself as a contact, it will still be grayed out because the phone will not be able to distinguish that the number that you added as a contact is meant for you.
People have said that cleaning out the contacts on the sim card has helped fix this, and others have had the sim card replaced and it fixed the problem. There have also been times where people have done both and it still hasn't fixed the problem.
Hope it offers some insight for ya.

I hadn't heard of this happening with the stock G2 ROM. It happens to me on CM6 right now, but didn't on stock. If after setting yourself up as a contact, you still show up as a gray box, definitely check to see if you are an unknown number. If so, you can call up T-Mobile and ask customer support to push your number back to your SIM card. They will be able to do this over the air. Alternatively, if you have access to other phones, some of them allow you to set the phone number on the SIM (my old Nokia's, Sone Ericcson's, and Samsung's did).
If you call Tmo I think they fix the unknown number thing for you
Hi,
Obviously am new to this forum and new to dual sim phones.
I have got one question:
I see that we can have all calls be either on one default sim or the phone ask you to choose. My question is whether we can somewhere assign a number to one sim, i.e. each time calling this number it will use this sim.
If anyone knows how this can be done please send me the info.
I have tried to look from the sim card manager and into contact for the different options but can't find it.
Thanks
