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 It is ancient and outdated.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.
