[quote name=”Emilio Iglesias”]In point no. 6 in the second paragraph, import all the contacts, pressing menu only brings up import, does only one matter since it doesn't say all?
My problem is that in the SIM of the other phone I have many more phone numbers than those that appear in the new phone. Where are they? How can I use them?
It's my headache. I am willing to go to the house of someone who knows how to do it so I don't have to copy them all, one by one. Thanks.
I have not done something right in your method. But it is more, to all the places that I go there is no answer. There has to be a solution. The contacts must be able to be passed from one to another if it is the same SIM.[/quote]
Easy, in the contacts app, go to the phone menu and click on see contacts, select which contacts you want to see, if those from the sim, those from the phone, all, those from gmail...
import the contacts

When I open the dropdown or direct link of 'Telephone' or 'phone' that appears on the desktop, I still see it duplicated even though I have marked it in contacts that I only want to see those of the phone. On the other hand, when I open the applications menu and open 'Contacts', I only get the ones from the phone.
How can I solve that?
great thanks
Ah, a question, how do I do if I want to put a photo of my contact?
I already did it, it helped me a lot because I did not understand why when I saved contacts it did not appear in my agenda and this has helped me a lot now it became easier for me BUT A QUESTION HOW DO I DO IF I WANT TO ENTER TO SEE THE CONTACTS THAT WERE IN MY CARD SIM?
