No the limit isn't the Nokia phone. It is the sin card being it doesn't have that kind of information on it. If you copy to the memory card then all data will be retained. This is why the sin card way is for the most part worthless. Beings it can not handel all the different fields that are out there.

As for the changed labels this would happen also if you did a backup of the address book to the memory card, the labels that you change will only hshow up changed within the contacts. There should already be labels prelabled within the contact list for things such as work mobile and personal moble, work phone and home phone, work fax and home fax, work email and home email as well as others. You can also have multiple of the same label such as an example you might have 3 home phone numbers using the label provided called home phone. I have had to do this with a couple of people in the past since they had more than one number going to one place such as work. ----- Original Message ----- From: "alex wallis" <alexwallis...@googlemail.com> To: <talks@talksusers.com> Sent: Saturday, September 17, 2011 10:46 AM Subject: [Talks] question about copying contacts to sim card > Hi list. > I am wondering if someone knows what might be going on with the following > problem. > I am copying contacts from my phone to my sim card. > the copying appears to go OK, however when I brows to my sim directory, I > find all my contacts there, but in several cases where I have multiple > numbers for a contact, the sim card has created individual entries for > each number. > so for example, lets say I have a contact called john smith, who has two > numbers, there will be two contacts called john smith. > also, even more annoying, in the phone book stored on my phone, where I do > have multiple numbers for contacts, I usually rename the fields so that > for example one might be called work mobile, and another might be called > personal mobile. > this information has not been copied to the sim card, so using our john > smith example again, in both contacts called john smith it just says > telephone and gives a different number in each, and it hasn't preserved > the different labels for the numbers. > this will make my contacts annoying to sort out, as on a lot of them I > have home and mobile numbers stored in one card, and also numbers for > there wives and partners all of which has just been scrambled by the sim. > luckily I still have the original in phone memory, but I would like to > know why the copy of my phone book on the sim is so scrambled and how I > can get the information copied correctly. > Many thanks for your help, > Alex. > _______________________________________________ > Talks mailing list > Talks@talksusers.com > http://lists.talksusers.com/mailman/listinfo/talks > > Hosting of this list provided courtesy of: > eHosting Limited: http://www.ehosting.com/ > and > Talknav Inc. http://www.talknav.net/ _______________________________________________ Talks mailing list Talks@talksusers.com http://lists.talksusers.com/mailman/listinfo/talks Hosting of this list provided courtesy of: eHosting Limited: http://www.ehosting.com/ and Talknav Inc. http://www.talknav.net/ _______________________________________________ Talks mailing list Talks@talksusers.com http://lists.talksusers.com/mailman/listinfo/talks Hosting of this list provided courtesy of: eHosting Limited: http://www.ehosting.com/ and Talknav Inc. http://www.talknav.net/
