How can i copy all my contacts to a new sim?

Hi i am trying to copy all contacts at once to my new sim card. I know i can copy them one by one, but that cannot be the best way. I have done a search but the only thing I found refered to using Ctrl C but I cannot find Ctrl Does anyone have any more ideas ? Regards, John

you can use sim manager to copy all you contacts to sim card and vice versa

Thats what i thought but there is no way to copy from phone to sim card in sim manager

use the attached file and it will allow you to copy your contacts to any sim card

This is going to sound realy lame but I cannot get it to work. I open up contacte then open your sim manager from menu then click contacts to sim and a view with no contacts apears, I click save & it says that 0 contacts have been saved. I have tried all sorts of permutations with opening one first & then the next with no success. What am I doing wrong

no you are not doing anything wrong, all you need to do is intall prog on your device(not on memory card), reset you uni, start sim manager(dont need to open contacts), click on menu, select contacts to sim,it will give to all contact in your uni, select all either by clicking in the box next to it or select all from menu and save, it will save these
contacts to your sim.i am using version 6.10 so you can give it a try instead of 6.25

Finaly sorted it out. My main Universal uses WM5 & I could not get it to work in that , so I put my sim card into my second Universal & used the sim manager in that. Straight away all the contacts apeared so I pressed copy & they went onto the sim card. Strange eh, thanks for all the help, regards john

It was my pleasure

[how-to] Delete all your contacts at once - Android 2.3.3 - Contacts 2.3.3

I had to search around in order to find how to do this. I thought the instrux belonged here on xda.
This will delete all the contacts from your phone. You can do this without any special programs or hacking. Just follow these steps:
Just go to Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > All > Contacts Storage > now press "Clear Data"
taa-daa
footnote: this came in handy for me, as I had imported a few hundred contacts and all the names had quotes around them. Watch out for that. Clear out all the quotes before importing your contacts.

Such a useful tip - thanks!!

Thank you very mush , I really spent a lot of time searching for it.

thanks!!!!

Thank you

thanks ... works 100% on me

for those that this wont work (I was one of them) try this:
Settings -> Applications -> Storage use -> Contacts Storage -> Clear data

Thanks. This works 100%.

thanks!! its awesome..

Thank the lord, I found your thread, you just saved me 506 individual contacts removal! v_v

Saved My time !!
Veryyyy Nice. Well I had to switch back to a previous phone and sync back my contacts !!! The (automatic) process was about to take hours... Much thankss

Thanks!

Hi,
I have the same issue with my Wildfire, but the problem is that i cant uncheck Lock SIM card option - when i enter PIN nothing happens....
Any ideas on how to uncheck it, remove SIM lock??...
P.S. Tablet Tweaks>Disable lockscreen - tried with on and off, doesnt work either way...
Please share your ideas...

Well, you'll need the Fix for HTC Sense. Then you'll need to go to the setup wizard and set your phone up all over again.
Edit:
Here's the Sense fix link for Wildfire:

Contacts sim

I'm currently using aokp by iitagily(don't know the spelling). I can't save contacts to sim card. Anybody knows how to save contacts to the sim card? I don't want it to save to Google account..I also tried this in cm9...no use...

1.If yr sim card has contacts and u want them to appear on yr phone
In contacts, press option button (left of the home button)
Find the option "Import/Export"
Choose "Import from SIM card"
2.If yr sim card has no contacts and u want to save them to the SIM card
In contacts, press option button (left of the home button)
Find the option "Import/Export"
Choose "Export to SIM card"
I don't know if this does what u want but just hope the method above can help u

u can go in the contacts, press the option buttion, choose more, select "settings"
In the first option "save new contacts to" --- Choose"SIM" and u can directly save contacts to the SIM card :good:
