Contacts from the sim card!!!

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.

did data reset... my numbers from sim deleted?

Hi folks,
Did a factory reset yesterday and now i cant see any numbers - just facebook contacts... would the sim have been wiped?
Cheers,
Mick

Are you sure you've made SIM contact visible?
In "People", press Menu then select View - is SIM ticked?

Well, normally this happens when your contacts are being pulled from the SIM card. Try going into your contact list, and tap Menu > View > Contacts. This should exclude your SIM contacts from the list. Future messages should now be tagged with the name of the contact instead of the number. Keep in mind that this will have no effect of messages already on the phone, only future ones.

The only other thing I can think of then, is to make certain that the number that is being displayed is exactly the same as the one in your contact list. This includes the +1areacode. I.e. If the number for your contact is 555-5555, and the incoming text number is +15555555555, just change the contact number to match the incoming. This would, again, only resolve the future contacts.

Limited characters when adding a new contact

Bot able to do more than 10 characters or so when adding a contact. This wasnt the case before. Any suggestions why?
Thanks in advance

??????

Are you creating the contact on your SIM ? there is a limit when the contacts are stored on SIM card.

Thanks for the reply. How can i check if its on the sim or the phone please?

Edit the contact, and in the upper part of the screen you have a drop-down to choose from Google/phone/SIM

dual sim and choosing card for a call

Hi.
In a dual sim phone there is an option to choose a default card for calls or not to, with a must to do it before taking a call.
Is there a way to set some of the contacts (fe. favourite ones) to be automatically called through sim card 1, and the rest, to be called through the card I choose while making a call?
Thanks.

I can't find an option on the default dialler

I don't believe that's a system setting/option. It would have to be in the phone/diar app, which isn't on the stock one. Or a dual sim app that has it and I don't know of any.

They're talking about having select contacts (not all calls) set to always use a certain sim then for the rest of the contacts or when dialing a number not in contacts to always be asked what sim to use. Like a mix of the two options. When you select a default calling sim then ALL call use that sim until you change that setting, which isn't the same thing they asked.
