Introduction 4

4 Introduction
4.1 SIM Manager's feature highlights
SIM Manager is an application that allows you to easily manage the contents of a SIM card, and
perform operations such as:
- add, remove or edit phonebook contacts;
- create backups of phonebook files ;
- sort the contacts of the SIM phonebook;
- enable, disable or change the PIN;
- connect to web-based address-books to send or retrieve contacts, the following services are
supported:
- Google contacts
- Yahoo! contacts
- import contacts from iTunes backups;
- import contacts from vCard files.

Highlights
1. Ease of use - interacting with a SIM card is much easier with a computer, than it is with a phone;
2. Mobility - transfer contacts from one SIM to another when changing mobile operators, quickly
update the phone prefixes when traveling from one country to another; retrieve contacts and texts
from portable devices that backup their data inside iTunes (ex: iPhone, iPad, etc). SIM Manager can
also retrieve contacts from Yahoo!, Google.
3. Interoperability - the phonebook can be exported to a CSV file and further processed by other
applications; the same mechanism can be used to synchronize the contents of multiple SIM cards,
or merge the contacts from different applications (ex: organizers, email clients, etc);
4. Wide compatibility - SIM Manager works with any SIM card, regardless of the phone model you
have, or the operator you are subscribed to. There is no need to purchase additional cables to
connect the phone to the computer, since SIM Manager interacts with the SIM card directly, using a
smart card reader.

6.3 Configuring SIM Manager
It is advised that you review SIM Manager's settings and customize them when you start the program
for the first time. To do that, use the Options menu.

Choose the desired font, and press OK to confirm your choice.

11 SIM Manager

SIM Manager's additional settings can be modified by clicking Settings.

Here is a list of items that can be changed:
1. Allow contacts without names. If enabled, SIM Manager will allow you to write contacts that don't
have a name to the card and to the local file. Note. The contacts entered without name will not be
visible when displayed on the phone.
2. Save CSV in current ANSI codepage. If the option is enabled, SIM Manager will write the CSV files
in a non-Unicode format, using the default ANSI codepage of the system. Normally this feature
can be turned off, and it should only be used when the CSV files are going to be further processed
by a non-Unicode application (such as Microsoft Excel, prior to the 2007 version).
3. Save only GSM contacts to CSV file. The CSV files will only contain the contacts of the
phonebook, while other numbers (ex: own numbers, last dialled numbers, etc) will not be stored.
4. Select interface language allows you to choose the language of the program's interface. Note. To
apply the new settings, restart SIM Manager.
5. Show toolbar buttons text will show the title of a button under its icon. Please note that in some
languages button titles may be rather long, so not all the buttons will be shown on the toolbar.
6. Read/Write all files from SIM card. If you enable this option, SIM Manager will read all the files (ex:
phonebook, own numbers, etc) of the SIM card at once; otherwise only the phonebook will be
read/written.
7. Write to SIM updated files only. If enabled, SIM Manager will only write data to the card, if there
were changes (ex: a number was modified, a new entry was added, etc).
8. Show deleted SMS. Some phones mark an SMS as deleted instead of actually deleting it from the
SIM card. If this option is checked, SIM Manager will retrieve such SMSes. An SMS that was
marked as deleted will be shown in red. This option is useful if you want to recover a deleted SMS.

9. Allow gaps in phonebook. Gaps can be formed in the phonebook if contacts are removed. If this

option is checked, the gaps will be removed, thus the list of contacts will be continuous.

Press OK to apply the new settings.

6.4.5 Sorting the contacts of a phonebook

When should I change the list of mobile networks?
This feature comes in handy when you travel from one country to another and use roaming services.
As you move from place to place, you will have to connect to other mobile networks, controlled by
other mobile operators - this means that the service fees will vary.

By controlling the list of networks to which your phone will or will not connect, you can make sure that
you will avoid operators that charge higher fees for their services.

FPLMN - Forbidden Public Land Mobile Networks
· This list contains networks to which the mobile phone will not connect, even though they are
reachable.
· You can change this list by adding or removing entries to it.

PLMN - Public Land Mobile Networks
· This list contains networks to which the mobile phone will connect if they are reachable. The list is
prioritized, which means that the phone will try to connect to the first network in the list, and if the
connection fails - it will go to the next one, and so on.
· You can change this list either by re-arranging priorities, or by adding or removing entries.

Operator PLMN - Operator defined Public Land Mobile Networks (only available on USIM cards)
· This list contains networks to which the mobile phone will connect if they are reachable.
· You cannot change this list, it is defined by your mobile operator.
