How to Copy Contacts to the BlackBerry Pearl SIM Card

Copying contacts from your BlackBerry to a SIM card can be tedious.

The BlackBerry Pearl is a sleek smart phone that's popular because of its small size and big functionality. When you enter a contact into your Pearl, it's automatically saved to the internal memory. You can easily copy all your contacts at once from your SIM card to your BlackBerry, but not from your BlackBerry to your SIM. Instead, you must copy each contact separately.

Difficulty:

Moderately Easy

Instructions

1. Open your BlackBerry address book. Scroll to an entry to highlight it.

2. Press the menu key to the left of the trackball and select "View." Press the menu key again and select "Copy to SIM phonebook."

3. Repeat for each contact that you want to move to your SIM card.

Tips & Warnings

• An easier way to back up your BlackBerry contacts from the wireless device is to use the Desktop Manager program and save your contacts to your computer by selecting "Backup and Restore." BlackBerry's Desktop Manager software also synchronizes with Microsoft Outlook and other email programs' address books.
