Making N95 show SIM contacts by default?

I don't think you can. The manual shows that if you want to make calls to contacts on your SIM card, you must first copy them across.

However it also says, Press , and select Contacts > Options > SIM
contacts > SIM directory to see the names and numbers
stored on the SIM card. In the SIM directory you can add,
edit, or copy numbers to contacts, and you can make calls.

Hope this is clear (as mud).

I don't like having my contacts on the phone as I switch SIMs a lot :/ I've also realized that when sending a text and choosing a recipient, you can only select numbers on your phone. Can't believe Nokia have chosen to do things this way.

Cheers for your reply mate.

you can put whatever number you want in. Go to new text, open it and type the number you want to send your text too. If you get the ABC just hold down the # key to change it to numbers.

Hope this helps.

Ah ok that would make more sence 😊

My understanding is this behavoir is happening a lot more in phones now not just nokia 😞 most phone lets you store a wealth of information and simcards STILL only provide basic name / phone number.

I also find this REALLY annoying. As Unplugged mentioned I think it was because you can hold more information on the phone than a sim card about each contact. All series 40 phones have this ability its just one of those things that S60 team lag behind again with, rather than all nokia phones.
