if you delete a contact from the *phone* it should NOT delete it from the SIM!! General practice on every phone I've used has been that you perform actions on either the SIM or phone 'memory' and do remove / change something on the SIM you select that as the 'db' you're working with. I think just deleting from the SIM when deleting om contacts would be a mistake. MHO of course Andy
