The sim card memory, like explained in previous post, is used to store contact details and sms, if you choose to use sim card memory on old phones. e.g. nokia 3310, 8250, etc.

Nowadays, most phone uses its own memory to store contact and sms. Or you can opt for memory card (micro-SD, etc.), hence it can store many multiple times more than the 64/128kb sim card.

The advantage of using SIM card to store, is you can put into other phones and straight call numbers in phonebook previously.

The SIM card memory storage has nothing to do with mobile download/broadband speed. 1kb is more than enough to store all the configuration strings.

1KB settings is one thing.

the applet is another matter because it take space.

No difference for all current latest h/p. Unless you are still using Nokia 8250, 3310, etc. and you choose to store contacts and SMS in SIM card.

Actually does it matter? How often do you use the simcard memory?
These days ppl use phone memory
Even it support the sim memmory they divide it to like 5 phonebook.

When your phone cannot on, and need to repair, thats you should think twice you should save your contact in your phone memory or simcard memory.

I just sync with the pc. The puny little storage isn't big enough to save a single name with address, pics, multiple contacts and description.

From what I recall, phones that can transfer contacts via bluetooth can literally backup the data correct me if I'm wrong.
