| 1245124 | 2011-11-24 04:21:00 | I have just upgraded my phones to SIM card types. When I enter and save an address it asks whether to save it to the phone or SIM card. Which is normal? What are the pros and cons for each option? |

| 1245125 | 2011-11-24 04:25:00 | simcard is portable but more basic and limited to certain no. of contacts. in the phone - more contacts usable, more features like able to add multiple # to each contact, incl pix maybe and perhaps voice dialling etc ..... but if you lose the phone or it breaks, you lost all your contacts unless you do a backup onto the computer with the software. |

| 1245126 | 2011-11-24 04:31:00 | Pretty much the same as nomad said, What I usually recommend is if you have a normal (ie, non smartphone device) then save to the SIM, If you have a smartphone then save them to the phone and have them synced with your PC. Reason being most people with a non-smartphone just have a name + phone number and thats all, and usually the non smartphones dont really support the extra features such as email addresses etc nor is it usually useful on them. On a smartphone its much easier to back up the contacts and features such as emails and photo's make sense becuase the phones are usually used for emails as well. I also keep a few core contacts on the SIM in case i bust the phone or I need to use it in another handset. |

| 1245128 | 2011-11-24 19:46:00 | if you are sharing phones with friends etc . . . nice with simcards . . . if you are just using your own phone and have a smartphone like someone said . . . maybe go for a phone memory . the same if you are travelling and you are frequently purchasing local simcards . . . . having it in the phone can be useful . . . . for me it is useful to include the person's name - their home #, work #, email address, cellphone # . Maybe if the person has a really long name . . . phone memory can handle it better than shortcutting it . |
