well as far as i know theres 2 ways
the slow way transfer one by one
and the also slow way that requires a PC. to use desktop manager and back them up and transfer to new phone.
theres no option to select all and merge with sim phonebook
wonder if RIM is listening lol cuz that would be grrrrrreat!!!
A SIM card is only able to hold 1 number for each name. So all the other info will not be stored. Also, I think it's something like 250 contacts is all they can hold. Someone said on here before that you can have more info on one contact in the BB address book than a SIM card will hold.
So what was said above is the best way to save contacts, by creating a backup file in DM. Google Sync among a couple others are able to wirelessly sync contacts if that's what your looking for.
yes the device has much more info for the contacts but what if you are switching to a different phone non BB.
or your phone is busted and you cant connect to a PC...
lets hope and wait and wait and wait

Well, all phones that have been made in the past many years are able to store more than 1 number per contact (mobile, work, home). So if you just put the SIM in a different phone, you will still need to contact that person to get their other numbers. What if you have more than 250 contacts? Also, every carrier has some form of a way to transfer contacts from phone to phone when you get a new one, or change it for a different one.
Storing contacts on a SIM card is so last millennium technolgy, get over it, there are so many better ways of backing up contacts.
