the number of memory locations in use on
the SIM.
The phone numbers from the SIM card memory
locations will appear in the Tel field of the
contact card.
If the number you have copied is a GSM number,
be aware that you will need to edit the field label
in the Contacts application from the communi-
cator interface in order to send SMS messages to
this contact. The SMS directory offers only those
contacts with Tel(GSM) numbers as possible
recipients to your SMS, and dims all other
contacts.
Copying memory: Contacts directory to
SIM
• The contact names in your directory may not
fully fit in the SIM card’s memory. Note that
only the first 10 characters of the name will
be stored.
Entering contact information
via the phone interface
Entering new or editing existing contact names
and phone numbers via the phone interface will
create a new contact card in the Contacts direc-
tory (see Chapter 13 "Phone interface: Using
memory - Storing information via the phone in-
terface" on page 13-5).
When you store or copy phone numbers via the
phone interface, the phone number will appear in
the Contacts directory’s Tel field (not the
Tel(GSM) field). In order to send SMS messages,
the recipient’s GSM phone number must be stored
in the Tel(GSM) field. You will need to edit this in-
formation from the communicator interface.
Whenever you enter or edit numbers from the
phone interface, check that the phone numbers
are in the correct fields in the contact card.
