hi!
I've a problem.
I've inserted another sim in my i-mate pda2k (rom t-mobile 1.42). After restart I start Pocket Outlook but this shows only SMS stored in the memory of my pda and not the sms stored in the SIM...
What can I do to view the sms stored in SIM ?
when i open the contacts app, all my contacts are duplicated, one whit the SIM symbol and another from outlook.
1- how can i make that the contacts stored in the SIM card stop apearing in the contact app and the phone list?
2- how can i delete a lot of contacts fast and easy? not deleting one by one
thanks!!!!

Check out Schaps Advanced Configuration Tool. It has an option to not show the SIM card entries in Contacts.
hide sim cab
Like Dr. P mentions often, this is one of the cab I keep on my storage card
hey guys, just a simple question, i finally backed my contacts up on my sim card but now they are showing up on the contacts as well as the original contact entry. how do i disable sim contacts from showing up? many thanks.

I had the same issue.. I noticed that on the kaiser advanced config tool, there is an option to "hide contacts". It actually worked a couple of times for me but I eventually just deleted my contacts off of the sims card and started syncing via exchange server or windows PC. You may want to give it a try though. The cab was called "Advanceconfig.cab" If anyone else wants to add something please do. I would be interested in hearing more as well. I was just disappointed that you cannot back up all your information such as E-mail addresses to your sim. That is why I started using Exchange.
shaps advanced config tool has option for you
I belive that is the program that I have used. It is a great all around congig tool in my opinion.
Show SIM Contacts
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Phone" name="ShowSIM
0 = No
1 = Yes

Thank You it works
I am using NRG Rose Rom v1.7 - Remade by Ricky and Stylez, the problem I have is I would like to keep a backup of all my contacts on the SIM. The contacts now show up as duplicates because there is one on the SIM card and on the phone. My brother has a HTC Hermes and there is an application that's lets his configure his phone so he can hide the SIM contacts from his contacts. I don't have this program and the closest thing to it would probably be the registry editor. Anyone know how to hide the SIM contacts in the contacts.
Edit
Never mind I figured out how to do it. In case anyone is interested the option is in Setting -> Phone -> Call Options -> De-select Show SIM Contacts
Good day, dashers!
Situation:
Someone sends me a text message.
I click on their number and add them as a SIM contact.
Problem:
When I go my picture folder and try to associate a pic with the contact, the contact doesn't appear in the pick-list.
If I go find them in Contacts, associating a pic or an icon with that contact isn't an option.
Any ideas?
Should I save them as Outlook contacts instead of SIM contacts? Won't that upload them to my work Exchange address book when I sync up at the office?
Thanks in advance!

Contact needs to be on phone memory not sim
Thank you for half-way answering my question! {/light-hearted sarcasm}
It is possible to move them to phone memory now that they are SIM contacts?
When I open Contacts, am I only seeing SIM contacts, then, or all contacts?
What am I seeing when I click on a picture and try to assign it to a contact?

Don't have my Dash available but i always use Dopod SIM Manager to copy sim to phone.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=487920
The viewing of SIM contacts, phone contacts, will depend on settings, i think as default you see both if you just want to see phone after copy you can use XDA SIM Show Hide
Hope that helps
Thanks stylez.
Hmmm...when I try to save a contact my only choices are Outlook, SIM, or Windows Live.
"Phone" is not an option.

Save to sim copy to phone with the above sim manager
Thanks again!
It actually is Save to Sim, go to Sim Manager, open choice then Save to Contacts.
Open Contacts, open THAT Contact, and then it can be edited to include a picture and much more. After that I've been deleting the SIM contact to save space.
Thanks again, stylez!
Contact must to be on phone not sim, transfer them first and it will work
if u jus choose outlook option insted of sim then u dont need to go through copying it to phone... for showing n hiding sim contacts open setting - phone- call options- show hide sim contacts
