Windows Phone: Copy contacts to SIM - how it works

For years, users of the Windows Phone have wanted a way to save contacts on their SIM card. We explain what works, what doesn't and what alternatives you have.

Windows Phone: Save contacts on SIM card

By copying the contacts from your Windows phone to the Sim, they are retained if the smartphone is defective. Unfortunately, Microsoft does not yet offer this function. Alternatively, you can use the Windows cloud.

• For years, the storage of contacts on the SIM card has only been discussed in the wish list of the Windows Phone. So far, the export to the SIM card has not been possible.
• However, importing contacts from your SIM card works without any problems.
• To do this, open the "Settings" in the "Contacts" menu and select "Import SIM contacts".
• However, you can use the Windows cloud to transfer contacts from one phone to another. Your Windows Phone stores all contacts here.
• You can access your contacts even without a phone when you log in to Windows.
