Copy contacts to and from your SIM card
Your SIM card can store contact names and phone numbers. Copying contacts to and from your SIM card allows you to
easily transfer contacts from one device to another. When you insert a SIM card into your BlackBerry device, you can view
contacts that are stored on the SIM card in your contact list. You can copy the SIM card contacts to your device memory so
that the contacts are available to you even if the SIM card is removed.
You can also use BlackBerry Link
to back up your contacts on a computer.

If you added a work account to your device and your administrator turned on BlackBerry Balance, you can't copy
work contacts to your SIM card.
