Samsung SGH-E520

[Anonymous]

I am using an old Samsung phone to make calls.

When I view the Contatcts, am I seeing what is on the phone, or what is on the SIM? Can I view either?

Using Phonebook options While viewing contact details, press to access the following options: • Edit: edit contact information. Menu functions Phonebook (Menu 2) 31 • Send message: send an SMS or MMS message to the selected number, or an e-mail to the selected address. • Copy to: copy the contact to the phone’s memory or to the SIM card. • Send via: send the contact via SMS, MMS, e-mail, or Bluetooth. • Delete: delete the selected contact.

I don't understand.

When I view contacts am I looking at information stored on the phone, or the SIM

It depends.
Normally there is a setting within contacts to see either SIM, phone or both.
Sometimes it is useful and tells you a number next to the option - this is the number stored in that place.

It is whatever you have selected to be viewed in the settings.

Hey @Anonymous did you manage to find out in the end if it was SIM or phone contacts? Any help from the guide posted above? Cheers
