Most of the frequent posters here do not recommend the SIM card as the preferred backup source for your contacts, they suggest you sync the BB to a computer and transfer your data there . . . you can then sync a new phone to the same computer and send it all the stored data. Also I've just learned through a similar inquiry that the SIM card only stores one phone number per contact and you can only save them to SIM card one-at-a-time.
