Storing contact phone numbers

Hi Can anyone help with this problem please.

I have a Samsung C300 and when I save new contact numbers I am confused by the options! I know that the basic options are to save a number to the SIM card, or to the phone's internal memory, but there are two other icons which I don't understand.

The first icon looks like a mobile phone - so I'm guessing that's the internal memory, the next icon looks like a block of flats! (what is that?) the third looks like a house, and the fourth is what I guess is an email list.

Can anyone just explain exactly what these icons mean please - the so-called manual is a joke!

Thanks in advance

    they are just spaces to store home, work and mobile numbers for the same contact!

    I have the G600. the block of flats is your memory card. the phone is your phone. You can save a lot more information of your memory card. My phone by default saved to the phone but I have changed it to the memory card. Thats your choice.

  • Thanks for that guys, I guess its better to save contacts on the SIM so that when you buy a new phone you can transfer the SIM to the new phone.
