Contacts can be saved on a SIM depending on the phone. But I had a distinct impression that that might be more than what the OP would be willing to participate in.

But from my first post...I should shut up. 🙂


Haven't seen anyone do that anymore. I guess phones now a days have a plenty of space to store tiny size worth of contacts 🙂

Good grief.

This a self-serve concept here. It looks like you would be better off going to a store to get all of that done.
