You mean he wants to export his contacts to transfer to a new device?

If so, you can use Ultimate Backup app from BBW to back up a number of things to an SD card or the cloud.

You can also use the BlackBerry Link software.

No he just wants to save it to his SD card in the same device. His contacts are saved to his device and Sim, but he wants a way to put all of the contacts to the SD card thanks

He can backup to his SD card, but can't move them there.

You can use Ultimate Backup to save Contacts (and/or Calendar data, messages and more) onto the SD card. You can also restore these data from there or transfer the stuff onto a PC and use it there. These are just zip files, very handy.

Awesome thanks! Just to be sure that's an app right?

Yes, sure, and it costs a bit. But it's worth the money.

It's easier. Go contacts, settings, at the bottom 'copy contacts from device to the sim card'.

Sorry, my mistake, you dont want to copy then to the sim but to the sd card. You need an app.

I do the same. Google Contacts allows the user to backup all contacts in the cloud (on Google's servers) for free! Then, if you security wipe your phone and install a new version of the BB10 operating system, your contacts can be brought right back to your phone by adding your Google Contacts account to the phone. This process takes less than a minute to do once you know the routine. Storing contact information on the SIM card can cause all kinds of problems. I avoid that like the plague.

Not at all for free, man! You pay with the privacy of yourself and all your contacts. You could also print out all your contacts including their addresses and birthdays on paper and nail this on the outside of your front door.

No doubt you speak the truth about privacy. I happen to not care but others surely might!

Hahaha. I agree. Always been a little paranoid about Google. I have contacts synced with Office 365. Sometimes contacts disappear and then show up again. Kind of like people in real life.

Can someone please explain to me what saving to the Sim means? And local contacts - what is that.

If there is anything that confuses the he'll out of me with my BlackBerry it's the contacts.

A Local contact is one stored to device memory. A SIM card has some amount of memory too, so it can hold contact information as well.

Thanks Conite!
