You have to do it one contact at a time. Open your address book, then open the contact you want to send, click the thumbwheel, and select Copy to SIM. Currently there is no way to copy the entire address book to the SIM.

...and you only get one number with one name. Thats it.

Yank, your question was quite vague, you made no mention of the BB models you were using, or transferring the SIM card to. There are better ways to preserve you BB contact list than transferring to the SIM card.

JSanders...I guess you are right, I was rather vague.

I'm using the 8700C and I want to load my contacts from my internal memory to the sim so they can be loaded to a cingular 8525. A friend of mine has one he gave me and I want to see which phone I like best.

Thanks again

The 8525 syncs with Outlook so you are in luck. Install the BB desktop software and set up your current device to sync with Outlook. After that you can sync your new device and you are good to go.

thanks i'll give it a shot...i assume i should have my BB overwrite my outlook contacts?

You can try this trick if you don't want to get them all mixed in and overwrite or combine data ... FIRST on your desktop Outlook, create a new folder under your main folder, name it something like NEW. Then copy or move all your contacts in your MAIN Outlook folder to the NEW folder. Your main Outlook folder should be empty.

Then connect your BB, synch your BB data to the Main Outlook Folder. Then setup, connect and synch your 8525, data in the Outlook folder on your desktop copying to your 8525.

Afterwards, you can put everything back to normal in Outlook by deleting or move the BB data in the Main folder and replacing it with was in the NEW folder, and your Outlook is same as before all your wrangling.

thank you very much JSanders! worked fine so far.
