Title: Mobile Phone Problem
Post by: Ralphy on Friday, August 24, 2007, 20:16:44
Ok i need some assistance from you technical boffs.

Vodafone have given me a Sharp GX17 as a courtesy phone while mine is being repaired.

I can't for love nor money get the bastard thing to read my numbers stored on my sim card  :x

When someone texts me or rings me, their name comes up but when i click on 'contacts' no list comes up  :evil:

Is there a solution to this? I've read the instruction manual through and through to no avail.

All i get in the contacts list is AA roadside assistance and a load of Vodafone customer care numbers!

RTFM

“Contacts” → “Contacts List” → [Options] →
“Advanced” → “Save New”
1. Select Contacts location from “SIM Memory”,

If that doesn't work you can copy between SIM Card and Handset

“Contacts” → “Contacts List” → [Options] →
“Advanced” → “Copy All Entries”
1. Select “From SIM to Handset” or “From Handset to
SIM”.

You can then see the contacts in the way you were trying before. Delete them from the phone (not the SIM) before you give the phone back

The instruction manual is very vague. It's a Vodafone quick guide to the phone and not Sharp's manual.

Select > copy contacts from Sim to Phone

I had exactly the same problem when I got my new Sony Ralph.

Luckily Jenna sorted it out for me   :oops:

Made a cut n' paste error:

“Contacts” → “Contacts List” → [Options] →
“Advanced” → “Contacts Location”
1. Select from “Handset Memory”, “SIM Memory” or
“Both”.
