am saving my contacts as outlook not as sim contacts, this is my desired behavior but I want the sms to be saved into the sim, is there away for that ?? am using wm6.
There is a program called SKtools, who can move PIM (contacts, sms) data to you're simcard. You always need a 3rd part tool for the sms save to sim.

I have transferred all my contacts from my mobile phone SIM to my XDA
using the SIM manager. I have now updated my contacts on my XDA
adding addresses and other details.
If I want to transfer these updated contacts back to a SIM, what
details will go across to the SIM? Is it just name and telephone
number?
Thanks.
i think that what your cellphone can display as contact info is what the sim can hold infomationwise
sim contacts
Only the basic names and mumbers will be saved on sim.
If you want tho save the full addresses etc then you need to save your contacts file in full to your memory card, or to your PC. You can also save using backup.
You can also save them in outlook.
Its a real pain but the PDA looses everything but the basics if the battery goes down.
I have some text messages on my phone, but they were saved on the sim card. When I popped the SIM into my wizard, it wont show those messages on the sim. I went to sim manager but it was empty.

I have a freeware app installed which is called yourself as SIM Messages v0.04b buzzdev.net. SHould be available from http://www.buzzdev.net/ though I don't remember the exact link where did I download it.

Also, if you have / install an AKU3 ROM (currently available for the Wizard, Universal and the Alpine), you'll be able to directly access your messages from inside Messaging.
Heres the SIM Messages v0.04b zip, works great on my magician (WM2003SE)
Is there an option on my phone to save text messages, MMS, to my storage card. I've looked through all the options on my phone, but I can't find anything on this. I would like to have all my text messages intact even when I have to master reset my phone for some reasons.
Back them up with PIM Backup. Search the forum for a download link. I'm afraid no MMS support yet, though
Yea I use spb backup to backup my PIM every night.

There is no option to save texts, but when you backup the PIM it automatically backs up your texts.
I want to save the SMS messages to my sim, I am changing ROM once in a while and I don't want the SMS messages to be deleted each time I upgrade.
Is there a way to save the SMS on SIM or memory card ?
PIM Backup will save your text messages an emails recent calls ect to your memory card.Just install it on your new rom and you can restore them all.
Thanks for the quick respond
After you flash a new ROM, but BEFORE you restore your PIM backup, make sure you don't have messaging enabled on your home screen - otherwise it will look like you've lost half of your messages after they've been restored. They are still there, they just won't show up in the threaded view. So, if the ROM you choose has the HTC Home or TouchFlo plugin enabled, go to start menu/settings/today/items tab and uncheck HTC Home or TouchFlo (I make sure everything is unchecked except the date plugin) then do the PIM restore. When it's done, go back an uncheck the date plugin and re-check either HTC Home or TouchFlo and you should now be able to click on messaging and see both sides of your conversations in threaded view.
I flashed Virtuous Inquisition ROM with my SIM card out. For some reason, I have lost my contacts because when I select "Import contacts from SIM card" it results in "No contacts on your SIM card" which is strange because I know I had contacts on there and I never deleted them myself.
if you have the contacts on the sim card you can reimport in the phone app. if not they can be reaquired by synching with a gmail account if you have done that its a good way to keep contacts while flashing roms. lastly you can restore them if you use titanium backup. if none of these are an option you'll most likely have to re-enter them all manually.
My contacts automatically sync with my Google Account, so whenever I flash a new ROM the device redownloads them from Google servers. I have never had my contacts on my SIM card, ever, but I suppose you can choose to keep them there
For me, I use Titanium backup, It save and backup calendar, contact, apps etc ...
