 On my pink razor every dang time I put my SIM card back in it copies ALL my contacts into my phone book automatically, on my black one it doesn't do this. This doesn't seem like a big deal but it is because I have TONS of contacts and I have to go through every time I take the SIM out of my pink phone and delete all the duplicate contacts since I have all my numbers saved to phone so I can use personalized ringtones and pictures. I've went through every setting on both phones (and they are set up differently since the pink is actually a cracked T-Mobile phone (I bought it like that not realizing it was T-mobile)) and I can't figure this out. It's so dang frustrating and time consuming. Is there a way to fix this? I think there has to be since it doesn't happen when I put the sim back in my black phone.
Also while I'm at it there are some SUPER OLD contacts on my SIM cards I'd love to delete. How do I do that?
Any suggestions would be sooo much appreciated. Thanks so much in advance.

I can't explain why one phone will duplicate the phonebook and another won't, but I deleted the phonebook from the SIM card altogether and used MPT to store my phonebook on my notebook.
A side note: SIM cards appear fragile to me and while we do have to move them back and forth between phones for whatever reason, I persnally wouldn't be changing it back and forth simply because I wanted to carry a different phone on different days. The cards just look too flimsy for that. The etchings on the surface look as though they could wear through very easily. Any of the power-that-be around here have thoughts on this otherwise? I try to swap them around as little as possible, but my card has been through 4 phones in a year and a half, plus swapping it back to the old phone to get some info I missed.

Personally I keep all my contacts on sim - because if I ever need to flash/flex my phone I don't want to lose them - but then I rearely use other phones. As for the auto copying, well sim contacts should show up in the contact list but I have never heard of them automatically copying to phone memory as well

Thank you! I have 2 phone lines, 1 personal, then 1 for the business I own but lots of times when I delete ringtones and stuff it tells me to re-start the phone and I assumed that meant taking out the SIM card. I may be incorrect on that though. I use my pink razor as my main phone then the black as my business and the silver one I have just because it was the first one I had. I also have another black one but it has terrible sound quality, I'm going to look into working on that.
Anyway, last night a guy friend of mine was over and my brother's girlfriend had snapped her razor in half and my friend had broke the ext. antenna away from the circuit board and he was able to fix his phone (using my brother's girlfriends broken one, he used the board of her phone) and was able to get pictures that she had thought she lost. Moral of that story, it's kind of nice to have a broken phone to use for parts and a friend who is good with electrical stuff. lol

I don't know that I understand what you are saying exactly. They do show up on the contact list but that means I have to go through twice as many numbers since they are duplicates of the ones I have stored to the phone.
I want to keep all my contacts on SIM I just don't want them going right back into my phone book every single time I put the SIM card back in. Also this pink razor is WEIRD, it's European (didn't know it when I bought it online), it even came with an adapter to plug in the charger. There are suble differences in the menus, and another dead give away was personalize is spelled personalise, little stuff like that so it may have something to do with that, I'm not sure.
That brings me to another question, I'm wondering if I should not be treating it like the black phone when I delete ring tones and stuff?
Also one one of the tutorials you wrote you said to change all personalized ringtones to "OFF", is that in each ring style, loud, vibe & ring, soft, etc., and do I need to do the same for the alarms in each different ringstyle?
I'm wanting to try to do what you said about updating the flash or whatever (I posted a question to you in that thread yesterday), if you get a chance could you help me on that?
You all are awesome! Hopefully I can be of some help sometime. I know tons about tanning lotion and internet sales. lol
Thanks for everything,
Charmi
P.S. I don't completely understand these bulletin boards so if I am doing something wrong feel free to let me know. I just know when I get a response because I get an email.

For languages flash with a US language pack, but if you are going to flash a monsterpack anyway that will change the language pack
You can use p2k tools to set everything to silent (hit the all silent button) much easier
