Can anyone explain why it is that only one phone number can be included in a Contact if it is saved to the SIM card but multiple numbers (eg Home and Mobile) can be included in the Contact is saved to the phone? As I understand it the advice is that it is safest to save contacts to the SIM in case the phone breaks down

That's a limitation embedded into th SIM card as it has very limited storage available.

The forced solution is for me to save two separate contact entries to my SIM (one with Work phone and one with Mobile) rather than one Contact that contains two phone numbers. Surely two separate contacts, each with one phone number will use more storage space that a single Contact with two phone numbers. Very clumsy.

 

Does anyone know how many contacts a SIM card will hold?
