sim card contacts

[OldBiker]

Any idea how to delete contacts from sim card without also deleting them from Google? Just got a new S9 and the old sim card had some messed up contact info that doesn't jibe with the Google info. I can't see a way to display only the Google contacts.
thanks!

If I understand you - Can't you just move the SIM contracts to your Google account...This way it won't matter what is on the SIM and you could then just destroy it.
Go to the Contact in question - Click on Details and then change the storage location to Google

Thank you for the quick response. The contacts in Google are correct the contacts on the sim are bad. I could be wrong but it looks like if I delete the contact, it also deletes it in google or does it? I should have told Bell Mobility i wanted a new sim. lol

Contacts app, manage contacts, select default storage location. Set to where you want new contacts to go.

Contacts app, settings, contacts to display. Select SIM card. Now go back to contacts list and delete all contacts to delete entries from SIM card.
