How can I delete/update SIM Card contacts? [duplicate]
asked 2015-02-23 14:26:04 +0200
I have some very old numbers of contacts that are still saved on my SIM Card but I already saved the new number in my Phone. Now I would like to delete or change the old number but I can only see them in the contacts app (World icon). If I want to delete them I have to un-link the contact with the sim contact and then I can delete them, but why?
Is this a bug or a feature I simply can not understand?
What I have also seen is that deleted contacts from the SIM card are back in my contacts after I restart the phone. Do they just get marked as deleted and are still there?

PatsJolla ( 2015-02-24 12:46:34 +0200 )editI dont know why, thats a question for Jolla I guess. I also would have liked to have this feature, but alas, I now have 2 phones that are NOT capable of editing SIMs. Ridiculous.
Licensing issue?, I doubt it, all though I have no alternative idea to offer you. In the end, I used one of my OLD 3G dongles to edit my SIM contacts, oh well, I guess we will see over time, along with all the other bits people think a phone should have (I don't mean that sarcastically).
