There are a few apps that can backup your contacts to your sim card.

The sim card memory is very limited and name fields, etc. are very short. In the contacts app you can export them to your sd card. Also they are automatically backed up to your Google account online.

You can do this directly from the 'People' app on your phone. If i remember correctly you open People, then bring up the options menu and somewhere within there will be (should be) the option to do this.
Contacts app every so often won't read bontacts off similar card but when I access contacts from messaging they're all there. This has happened twice.

I've just flashed to remics on my galaxy S and now there's no settings in which I can see my sim contacts.
In Gingerbread, I was able to add new contacts straight to my sim and use it in other phones if necessary. Is there any way to do that on remics?
I've imported them to the phone from the sim so they are there still but I'd like to add new additions straight to the sim.
A naive supplementary question also . . . If I import them from the sim to the phone, do they stay on the sim as well?
I don't know about ICS and SIM contacts, but why don't you use Google contacts? It's all saved to the internet, and much easier to sync. Importing contacts from your SIM card is rather... old fashioned, don't you think?

I don't really want to import them at all but just have them on the sim.
I've sync'd them with google now but that's only useful if your using an Android 'phone.
Hi to all, I have a strange problem with my htc pico.
As I'm running a non-root phone, obviously I was out of memory to install much apps after 1+months of using. At manage applications, I saw that contacts was eating 23MB space. I went to contacts and saw there was 1000+ contacts from my Facebook and Google account and I had around 200 (real) contacts in my SIM. It was clear to me that the email, pictures, facebook status etc of those online contacts eating up that much space and I needed to clear those. Those online linked contacts are of no use to me in my phone.
I force stopped contacts and deleted the data from manage applications and gained the free space it was blocking. I was happy to gain space.
Now when I came back to contacts, I see all those Facebook and Google contacts are there, just they lost their associated avatar, facebook status, etc.
Surprised and shocked to see that all the sim contacts are deleted.
WT* how SIM contacts be deleted if I'm clearing phone memory??
Is there any app(free) that can undelete SIM contacts.
I have contacts backup in the microSD which I backed up using my last samsung phone. I opened the backup folder and there is 230 <contact_name>.vcf files. Can I somehow select all and import back to the SIMcard by any app(free).
In the worst case it can't be solved by android, I have to ask some friend for samsung phone and insert my SIM and microSD there and restore contacts and then shout out loud "Android Sucks" .
TIA.
U have backup in a sd-card so just restore
Remember the format of backup should be in vcf format....

I have format in vcf. But if I click it in file manager, the popup shows reading "reading vcard file...". But doesn't gives me option to save the contact to phone or sim. After reading, popup vanishes and in contacts I cannot see any new contact in phone or SIM.
Somehow I need to restore all those contacts to my SIM card and not in phone(who knows when phone deads).
Meantime I have manually saved few contacts to phone. Now where's the option like this "contacts settings"->"move contacts from phone to sim"-->"select all " as we see in Nokia/Samsung non-android phones.
It's great fun but also hard to be in android after years of using Nokia-1600 category phones.
Well in cm9 there's no option of importing contacts to sim u need to go back to sense based rom
And regarding vcf error use some contact application from playstore

Thanks for the tip. I should have searched for contacts app from playstore.
My software isn't cm9. It's software number 1.31.720.3 with htc sense version 3.5 and android 2.3.5 . By unrooted phone I meant I didn't root it and I've planned to root and install roms after warranty expires.
I found a move option in contacts, but that's for moving phone contacts to google account.
Fortunately my problem resolved after I restarted the phone. Now contacts got 229 from SIM and 0 from phone, facebook,google. I think some cache problem was causing me all these trouble which got washed off on reboot. The call history is also empty now, I guess I've deleted that too.
I've stopped sync contacts in sync settings for facebook and gogole.
