Copy contacts to SIM?

---

Is there an app that allows you to export your contacts to sim?

I started writing one based off the source so you would have an additional button in the contacts to Export Contacts instead of just Import them, but the emulator has no support for the SIM so I can't verify that it worked. I had since deleted it.

I was wondering if anyone had written anything like this yet?

I read somwhere the contact app in hero could do that.. but i cant test because im not going to hero untill its juicy and stable :P

Yeah, as far as I know (unfortunately) there is no way to go from the G1 to the SIM, only the other way around.

However, if you're on a T-Mobile SIM card, what I have heard yet never tried was using the new T-Mobile app called "Mobile Backup." It saves all the contacts and other misc. things from your phone onto a web server with your T-Mobile account. You can then transfer anything on this Mobile Backup to another T-Mobile phone. So what might be worth a shot is to transfer everything onto a phone that supports writing to the SIM card, and then put it back on the G1.

Personally, Gmail works great at this

I have JACHero 2.6.3 and i just checked the contact app to see if there was an export to sim option, but sadly, only import. Sorry.

The mobile backup works pretty well. If you have access to M$ Exchange you could always have all of your contacts back up to that (Or google contacts for that matter)

There are 2 ways you can do it. Buy one of those usb sim reader...$5 at Fry's or in Hero.

SIM Card Backup

I have an HTC HD2 running Android 2.3 with the rom build on a Nexus One. As with every rom I have flashed before, i loose all my contacts and messages. I want to put my contacts on my SIM card rather than my 4g microSD card which is now full. Searching the Android (Google Play) Store there have been no apps that have been able to help me with this.

Any suggestions?

make sure you are using google sync. i have flashed too many roms to count and never has google sync failed me. if you log onto your gmail from a computer you will see your contacts saved there, if not you need to make sure you choose to sync contacts in the settings menu on your phone.
if you dont like this option for whatever reason than just get a bigger sd card or transfer files to your computer
