Hi Yuvi,

This is actually not true. Neither the iPhone nor Android devices are
supporting writing to the SIM card. They only support importing contacts
from the SIM card for legacy reasons. And oFono does support exactly the
same.
The Android Nexus S export functionality for example is only USB and
sharing your contacts over Bluetooth or via email. No exporting to SIM
card is supported.
> I don't know ,there could some technical reasons
The SIM phonebook is too limited in the number of field or number of
entries to be anywhere near useful for anybody. It is not a storage
location that should be used anymore. It is ancient and outdated.
And for the same reason we do not support storing SMS on the SIM card
and import existing ones if found.
Regards
Marcel
