Saving contacts

My wife has just got a new Samsung Tocco and has put her old sim and memory card in it, she then transfered all her contacts to the phone and now has 2-3 of the same numbers in her contacts file.
Where is the best place to keep here contacts, ie, sim, phone or memory card, so we know which one's to delete
thanks
Bag boy

  • Keep the original (without duplicates), delete the ones in the other phone and then send all contacts from the old one to the new one. When the phones are different makes they don't always transfer exactly as the original and you may have to input them all afresh in that instance.

    With Sony phones, Nokia and Windows/Palm mobiles I have always sync'd them with my Outlook on the PC. I don't know if Samsung have such software, but others may be able to help.

    That way, you always have a master file that you can update from any phone you have or, indeed, the other way too and you sync them every month or so.
