Cellular Phone Forum / Manufacturers / Motorola / July 2004V600 Copy entire phonebook to SIM
Instructions in book to copy all does not work. The second time told to press the Menu key does nothing. I can copy one address at a time, but that's way too painful.  SignatureLarry J. - Remove spamtrap in ALLCAPS to e-mail "Lord, are we worthy of the task that lies before us, or are we just jerking off..?" I too, would like to know how to copy entire addressbook (or multiple entries) from phone to SIM and vice versa. I have a V400. I saw no instructions anywhere on how to do this. Also, is there any way to keep an entry on both, the SIM and the phone? SignatureAloke ---- to reply by e-mail remove 123 and change invalid to com > Instructions in book to copy all does not work.

In the phonebook are both entries, the original from the phone, and the copied entry in the SIM. There's gotta be a way to display only one of them, but I can't find it.

You are going to get duplicate entries. Best way to back up phonebook is by using a PC and a BT dongle. Works a treat........

What are the exact button pushes you use..? Open up the phone book (to show list of names/numbers0 hit the middle soft key (menu) Select 'Copy' (6th from bottom) Then 'All to SIM' Mind you, I dont know if it leaves all the entries on the phone as well, I suspect it does, which may not be what you want. But I'm not going to try it as I don't want all my phone numbers on my sim.

Perhaps you have a well botched version of the V600, cos even my Orange edition has the coreect menu's to do this . > Waiving the right to remain silent, "Lofty" <paulloft@btconnect.com> > said: [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > I do not get the choice "All to SIM," only the first entry in my > phonebook. Sorry, can't really help any further then. But at least you know now that other folk have a different menu system on their V600's than you have on yours, and you are not going mad :-) The Can't you get one of those cheap little keyring sized sim back-up thingy's ? Then put all your contacts on that and move them between sim and back-up device when you need the numbers on the sim to transfer it into a different phone ? That way you could keep all the numbers in the phone memory, which is better as you can have voice dial and stuff associated with the numbers if they are on the phone. Thinking about it that probably wouldn't help as you cant get all your numbers onto the sim in the first place. Doh, sorry. > > Waiving the right to remain silent, "Lofty" <paulloft@btconnect.com> > > said: [quoted text clipped - 26 lines] > Thinking about it that probably wouldn't help as you cant get all your > numbers onto the sim in the first place. Doh, sorry. He could of course get a version of Mobile phone tools, and lead or bluetooth dongle. ====================================================================== * Reply by Jack D.

Try Phonebook>>Settings(Middle button)>>"Copy Entries". From there be prepared to enter the From:(Start)...From:(End)...To:(Start) and enter the appropriate numbers for the SIM. For a single copy...Same thing (Only "Copy Entry" but it only copies one number at a time. It's pretty self explanatory once you get in the menus. Much easier to execute than explain here. Good luck.
