SIM Manager Question

Hi,
I like the SIM-Manager app on the HTC Phones, but can not figure out how to transfer just a subset of my contacts to the SIM card. When I'm in Contacts, I can filter them, say by Category. When I call the SIM-manager from the menu and select "Copy contacts to SIM", I still seem to get *all* entries (of which there are way too many to fit the capacity of the card), instead of just the filtered ones.
Could this be done somehow?
(I need the SIM-Card for my car, the built-in phone reads only the SIM card).
Thanxx, Mixx

Same issue here
I am trying to solve the same problem. Is there any other SIM manager software that can do the requested trick of copying only selected category of contacts to SIM?

Couple things...
1. Have you tried a different contact to sim app? There are about 30 that I have found.
2. Just curious why you want them on your sim card... Google syncs directly to the phone, so no need to link to sim, unless it's for use in multiple phones...
Anyways, what is the exact name of the app you are using? I will try it out and see what my results are.

Just manage your contacts with GMail, or Outlook, or Yahoo, etc. Also with the SIM you only have a few fields you can use, Name, Phone, and Email are the only field's you can use.

Ok...Downloaded and tested several apps. All work on my phone. Sounds like you may have a bad sim. Go to AT&T and tell them you need a new one. It should be no charge for this, and take a matter of a few minutes.

[q] dual sim features

Hello all,
I have 2 SIM cards, one for work and one personal. I think to buy a dual SIM phone.
I have some questions about dual SIM features:
1) Can I define an Account\Gmail Contacts\Groups that will be assigned to the different Sim card (for example: I want to define that to all my work contacts will dial\send SMS from work SIM card and to my private contacts will be dial\send SMS from my personal SIM card without the need to choose every call which SIM card to use)?
2) If the answer to the first question is YES, do I need to go to every contact and assign it to default SIM or it can be defined by Contact group\Gmail contact account?
3) If I get a call from number that not in my contact list, If I will redial it will the call go from the SIM that got this call or I will need to choose which sim should I use ?
4) Can I define a different sound profile schedule for each SIM card ?
If those features are not built in Android system, is there any App that can do this or is it possible to develop an app with those features?
Thanks
Eli

I own a dual SIM phone. I don't know some of the questions but I tell how I use it:
- Every time I dial or I select a contact to phone, a dialog appears where I can select which SIM to use, and shows which was the SIM used for the last time. It means 1 click more than a standar phone to make a call, but I find it more practical than preconfiguring the SIM for every contact. First because I have lots of contacts, second, often I phone the same contact from different SIM...
- When I receive a call or SMS the phone indicates which SIM is being used. I suppose I could configure different tone for each SIM, but I don't care about it, I just care about who is calling.
- An app I haven't been able to make it work correctly is Whatsapp. I don't know how to tell it I have dual SIM so it should manage two accounts... finally I use only 1 account with this app.
In general I am really happy with dual SIM and I am clear that my next phone will be dual SIM again.

Thanks for your reply.
But the behavior that you describe is the one that I prefer to avoid.
I don't want to think which SIM use with which contact I want to define it advance.

1. You store contacts you want to call from SIM1 on SIM1, the contacts you want call from SIM2 you save to SIM2.
2. You need to do it manually.
3. When you are calling someone/SMSing you have Call/Send buttons for every SIM and you press the button depending from what SIM you want to do the action.
4. I'm not too sure. But I don't think so.
The anwsers were given under the assumption that apps for the features don't exist (which may not be true, I didn't check).

Saving contacts to SIM Cards

This may sound archaic, but why is the option to save to SIM Card no longer present? I test and flash a lot of ROMs, so saving contacts to the SIM card saves a lot of time. Also, I don't have to rely on google.
Before my Moto Z2 Force, I had a Blackberry Q5. It let me save my contacts to my SIM so they could carry over when I was testing something. The contacts also carried over when I moved to my new phone. Why did Google remove the ability? You can only import from SIM card now.

SMS settings with dual sims

Is there a way to get the phone to remember which sim card I have sent a message with? It always defaults to the main even when I start a conversation with the second card
