Why are we talking about the sim card here?
Because it was said that it might be the cause of the duplicated entries I get. I don't think so.
Android has pretty much dropped support for storing Addresses on the sim card because the data structure is obsolete and can't hold half the things you want to save. My last phone gave huge warnings about storing contacts on the sim card.
That is so, I don't remember being asked if I want to save an entry to the SIM. It can about only hold name and phone number.
It exists (if at all) for importing from older phones for the most part, (which is silly because most new phones won't accept sims from older phones).
Yes. There appear to come in three sizes: normal, small, very small. The previous phone I bought used the small, so I had to migrate the card. And the current phone uses the very small (micro?), so another migration. I doubt that entries were copied, just my registration. I don't know how to find out what it contains. On the other hand, these SIMs now have much more memory than the older ones. It made sense because you could replace the phone and carry your phone list across. But now the phone book holds more data, like email, photo, street address... Pity it can't be stored in a suitable SIM with sizable flash memory. -- Saludos/Cheers, Carlos E.R.
