This is correct. SIM cards only support Name and Phone values for a contact, and generally they’re limit is 200-250 contacts.
Older phones which relied on the SIM to store contacts which had fancy features like groups and such, added a single special character at the end of contacts to indicate which contact group the contact belonged to. Of course the special character wasn’t displayed, unless you put the SIM into another phone which didn’t work the same way… lol
iSIM is mainly usable for people who have a quite old phone and are storing they’re contacts on the SIM. Cause most phones in the past 4-5 years stores your contacts in they’re internal memory by default cause of the SIM’s limitations.
Anyway, I’ve ranted way to much about this now… lol
also if you get a call off any off the number you have transfered to phone using isim it does not know who caller is even though its in your contacts as say steve it will display the number and not steve
Is ISIM sourcecode in Objective-C available to the comunity ?
I’m working on an application development for non-jailbroken iPhones that need to get acces full to SIM card (Sending and receiving commands to the SIM Card, all kind of commands, not only to get access to the build-in phone book, but to all files stored in the SIM and all available commands in the GSM 09.11 standard).
Would your company agree to licence me a piece of objective-c code allowing me to implement a full-access to SIM card commands in the iPhone ?
It’s not iSim’s fault. I think the SIM card is only capable of holding one name and one number.
Thanks for that info, The iPhone is the first phone we’ve had that uses a SIM card so I didn’t know that.

That is strange… What if you go into the contact and add more info, still don’t work?
SIMport does the same and is free
i want isim
Does this work on iPhone OS 3.x?!
I just realized, under Mail Contacts and Calendars there is the option to import from SIM! This app is now obsolete for import…
how do i get it on my jailbreak 3.0 2g iphone?
