I wanted to move one of my sim cards to a small dumb phone for calls only so that i can stop being online everytime, i.e go out without taking the bigger device. I then discovered that all phone numbers and messages were stored on the bigger device
I know i could export all contacts but the dumb phone has no otg/usb connection, manually typing out each number would also be a pain, so i got onto f-droid and found this app.
You can copy phone numbers from your device onto your sim card and vice versa, the sim card storage is your only limitation, mine could only take 100 and I didn’t even exhaust it

Don’t you have this functionality natively on your phone? The contracts apps should be able to do this.
I was also surprised, i’m on lineageOS 21 and the stock contact app doesn’t have that function
Yes, it seems that Google removed this feature from the Contacts app. I also tried the Contacts app from Google, and it doesn’t have the ‘Export to SIM’ button either
removed? I feel it never had that, a century ago i wanted to copy contacts to sim when i had to send my htc dream with android 1.5 to repair, but it didn’t have it, only import.
I hadn’t noticed this. It definitely used to be there. What a shitty way to push you to back it up on Google servers
I just checked GrapheneOS’ default contacts app. This one for some reason only has an import from sim option, I can only export to a vcf file.
Oooh thank you! Hate having my contacts being reliant on google when I switch phones.
