Although as far as I know, no phone > these days uses the SIM card to store contacts. It's a Nokia 1208 which was apparently released in 2007. I recall switching the SIM card into another phone one time and the contacts were immediately available on it. When my sister got her new phone her contacts were definitely available straight away as well. I'll have to try it again sometime. Also some interesting stuff on the subject at Wikipedia (but I don't think it really answers any of these questions): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subscriber_identity_module Andrew.
