What is the easiesit way to get all of my contacts onto the SIM?
Sometimes, I leave my XDA II behind and use my SPV. I'd like to just swap SIMs and take the contacts with me.
Is there a quick way to do this?
Can the contacts be permantly on the SIM and still sync with ActiveSync?
Thanks in anticipation.
i believe that the sim manager does that
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=10381&highlight=sim
here if your rom dont have it
otherwise i suppose you could enter contacts and open the keyboard and press ctrl a and choose all contacts and tab and choose save to sim
Thanks Rudegar. That worked.
Interestingly, with Radio Off it doesn't allow copying of the contacts the the SIM.
I've no idea why. Just seems a bit odd.
well if i go flight mode on and off
i have to retype my pincode so that could make one asume
that when it's off the whole sim is off
Hi,
When I view my contact, I have first my phone contacts followed by my sim contacts.
I there a way so that I only have my phone contacts in my contact?
Thanks in advance.

I would also very much be interested to learn how to disable the display of SIM contacts by the phone's Today plugin. I looked at the registry quickly but nothing seems intuitive about disabling this. I was told in other forums that this is not possible. Any confirmation on this or ideas?
Has anyone been able to disable the showing of SIM contacts in the Today quick dial plugin? Also, is there a way to show names by First name, Last name in this plugin instead of the other way around?
Thanks.
Hi,
I have explored the whole registry but couldn't find a way to hide sim contacts from aprearing in today's Dial up look up. Anyone has any idea how to hide sim contacts from appearing in Dial up look up?
I have already made changes in reg for contacts so now in my contacts i don't see sim contacts but still appear in Dial up look up.
?
Found an answer here:

BUT I cant seem to get it working, anyone had success?
Hi
That Solution only works for contacts, i have been using it since day one, but somehow i'm unable to find any registry setting to hide sim contacts in dialup lookup.
But that registry change should work for contacts.
Hey Guys, first time posting...
My Fuze has been great, except when it comes to sending and receiving sms messages... I can't!!... and if I go Start/Messages none of my original text messages from my Sim are there.
It makes me think that the phone and sim card aren't communicating properly?... although I can receive and make calls... could it be something that needs to be changed in the registry? I have installed PHM Registry Editor but don't know what I need to change.
Also, I have TouchFlo on the phone and when I slide the menu tab to messages, I can see new messages that I have received (yes that's right, I receive msg's through touchflo, but no other way!), and they are stored on my phone and not my SIM! AND it doesn't notify me when a new msg comes in which is very annoying!! And the same problem... I can't send messages
So in summary, I think the texting side of the phone it not correctly setup and needs to communicate with my SIM card.. I assume it is a registry change that needs to be made?
Please help...
Thanks, Seireon

I have the same problem and emailed ATT, their response was that if the SIM that I have is 3G it should work fine on the phone. I need to call tech support with ATT to see if they can troubleshoot, as I will not exchange the phone due to some investments in it already like invisble barrier. If there is a issue with the SIM that I should be aware of please continue this thread as I know that there are many in the same hole. Thank you.
more info
Spoke with ATT CS the sim card has to be matched to your phone in order for it to work properly, I can send and receive mms and sms messages now.
ok same problem again sms, stopped working,
new developments I have been able to figure out that the problem is associated with the media net connection. once media net has established a connection, sms stops working. I have been unable to send multimedia messages, what I will try next is to try by flashing another ATT/Cingular ROM to see if the issue disappears, if it does then is a software issue, if it does not disappears then is a hardware issue and I'll have to change the phone for another.
I'll post in a few hours.
Í've been having the same problem with my phones. Every 3-4 weeks I will lose the ability to sms. I go to att online chat support and they reset my phone. I believe it is related to att's account systems because it happened once before I got the fuze and it occurs on every phone on my account. Ít's getting to be a hassle to swap my sim into my "dumb phone" to call att for a resolution. I might have to get the pda plan so I can gripe about it more.
Ok I have PDA plan.
Flashed the following ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=466219
Everything is working like a charm. I opted to flash that custom ROM because of its great reviews and apparent lack of issues. I'm still testing it, but so far is all good. I'll update if issues regarding this thread come to light. Thank you.
Having the same problem
Same problem here, although I can send text messages, my picture messages are hit and miss (miss in the beginning). ATT had me go in get another SIM card and do a hard reset... this kind of fixed it... now I can send/recieve sometimes.
I'm interested in hearing if the new ROM fixed this in the long run (not just for the first few days).
Hey,
got the same problem aswell now!
Flashed the same ROM, and now I can't send any SMS anymore. Before the flash I was able to (flashed from stock)
Would love to hear if you got it work! I'd like to know the solution!
Thank you

4 days of testing and still working perfectly, if you have issues with sms, or voice mail, please check that you have the right numbers on the Voice Mail and Text Messages services, at
Phone, Options, Services. For Att in US they should be the following:
Text Messages Service Center: 13123149810
Voice Mail: ""write your account cell phone number""
Hope this helps. Thanks.
i had this problem when i first got my fuze.. sometimes the touchflo messes up when installing and a hard reset solved my problem..
Update, no problems so far everything is working like a charm. Thanks.
still have that same problem
i lost the ability to send or receive sms after i flashed my phone for the second time.
first time from stock, did rre fuze 4.5 special edition.. sms worked like a champ.
second time changed to romeos and things stopped working for sms altogether. weird thing is i can do that whole call "get numbers used" in my contacts, and it will text me how many minutes i have.
i cannot send nor receive any messages. iam getting frustrated with this because no one really seems to have an issue.
i just did two hard resets, flashed to rre fuze 4.5 special edition, and still cannot get anything to work.
i read somewhere that turning 3g off worked. it did not.
my voice mail and text message service reads as follows
text messages service center: +1 (312) 314-9810
is it supposed to read like that or what?
please advise.
Problem
I'm having the same problem with SMS, I can't send or recieve any pictures, audio files through messages, nor can I recieve or send bluetooth files once connected to another phone via bluetooth, does anyone have a answer to that?
btw I have flashed my phone at least 4 times. different rom versions until i found one i liked. Now i am barely noticing I can't sms
Hello!
I've recently bought a second hand O2 XDA Orbit 2 and am using it with my Orange SIM. Up to now I haven't had any problems as the phone is unlocked.
I've just had a voicemail message which I listened to and deleted, but I still have the notification on my phone. I've tried everything to get rid of it: rebooted, gone back into voicemail but nothing helps.
I had the standard O2 WM6.0 installed and I've just upgraded to the standard O2 WM6.1 version. The voicemail notification is still there which seems to imply Orange are still sending the notification to the phone. Does that make sense?
Has anyone else had this problem? Is there a solution?
TIA
Install HushSMS and send an MWI Disable message to your own phone
Thanks for the advice. I have looked at the HushSMS application and think I know what it is doing!
Does MWI Disable just remove that one instance of the voicemail notification or will it stop all further notifications?
I've also thought I should check if the notification appears if I put the SIM in another phone. If it does then the problem is with Orange and not the phone.
I'll let you know how I get on.
I put my SIM in an old Nokia and this said I still had a voicemail, so it was Orange that was incorrectly telling me I had a voicemail. So I left another voicemail for myself and then deleted it. The notification went away.
So no problem with the phone. Lets hope it doesn't happen again!
This is a same issue in Telcel Mexico. It seems that the format of the message that is sent to delete the MWI (Message Waiting Icon) is not standard, so windows mobile does not recognize it and display it as an empty message.
I also use Hush SMS and it works fine, but remember first to listen and delete your voice mail and then delete the MWI... If you delete the MWI without deleting the VoiceMail.. it will still live in the server and next time it registers in a different phone the MWI will appear.
So far, the solution of Hush SMS has worked fine for me. Of course I also told the people close to me not to leave me a Voicemail and preferably send an SMS.
Regards,
JM
