How many numbers can be stored on a SIM card?

Tell me how many contacts can fit on a Tele2 SIM card?

Ekaterina, good afternoon! Each operator has its own amount of memory on SIM cards. In particular, on Tele2 you can save no more than 100 phone numbers.

Tell me, what is the size of SIM card memory for other operators?

You can save contacts on your phone in different ways: in the device memory, on a SIM card, in cloud services. We will tell you in a new article which method to choose and how many contacts can fit on the SIM card of MTS, Megafon, Beeline and other operators.

Import from SIM card

Sometimes it happens that Android does not see the contacts on the SIM card simply because their display is disabled in the settings. In this case, only those stored in the device’s memory are displayed. This is the most common situation and the easiest to resolve. This usually happens when a smartphone falls into the hands of children and they start clicking anywhere.

You can configure this in the phone book:
Open the list of numbers.
Click on the three dots icon - it will open a menu.
Select Contact Filter.
In the list, select “All” to display all entries, both from the SIM card and from the smartphone’s memory. If only “Phone memory” is selected here, then this is the cause of the problem and everything is solved.

In the same menu, you can select “Import/export” and you will be asked to choose where to transfer the list from - select a SIM card. Then you will be asked to choose where to transfer it - select your phone. As a result, the entire list will be transferred to his memory. This can help when data from the SIM card is still not displayed, although it is there.

If this does not help, it is useful to check the problematic SIM card in another slot, or even better, in another phone - most likely, it has failed. After all, this is actually not a piece of plastic, but a complex device with its own processor and memory, although quite reliable. In this case, you will have to contact the operator for a replacement, but in the duplicate, of course, the list will no longer be there.

How can I find out my USB modem number?

You can find out your number using the Beeline USB modem application. In the application, go to the “Account Management” section and select “My Number”. Click the “Find out number” button - after which an SMS message with the phone number of your SIM card will be sent to your modem. A single payment card can be activated from the Beeline USB modem application.

How to find out your mobile phone number?

Your telephone number is indicated in the annex to the Agreement.

You can also determine your number in the following ways:

Using the command to determine your number, dial the combination *110*10#; Call 067410. You will receive a response with a phone number via SMS.

Select a tariff and order a SIM card online on the Beeline website. It's very simple: we will deliver the SIM card to you ourselves, and if you are in doubt about the choice, we will call you and help you make your choice. You can also buy a SIM card at any of our sales offices or dealer showrooms.

When purchasing a Beeline SIM card, you can get a new number, or you can keep the old one by transferring from another operator along with your number.

A new phone number is assigned when you purchase a contract and start working on the network. It is indicated in the annex to the agreement.

Don't be afraid to lose old contacts when purchasing a new number! Connect and by calling your old number, your friends will receive information about your new number in the form of a voice message or SMS.

To keep your old number when switching to Beeline, write a statement at the office or order free delivery of a SIM card by courier. Read more about number porting.

If you can no longer use your SIM card (it's broken or lost), or you need to change your standard SIM card to a micro-SIM or nano-SIM, we will restore it or change it at any of our offices. Learn more about replacing the SIM card.

You can change the owner of the number, temporarily suspend its use, prohibit number identification, etc.

How many contacts fit on a Tele2 SIM card

Home > FAQ > How many numbers can fit on a SIM card We have practically not used paper notepads for a long time, and quite rarely, phone books on devices: the first are not very convenient, and the second disappear due to changes or breakdowns of devices. And how many numbers a Tele2 SIM card can hold is a really important question for many. And this is understandable: we change our contact information quite rarely, so this piece of plastic sometimes stays with us for many years.

The Tele2 SIM card can only hold 100 numbers. Additionally, you can use the volume of the device’s phone book and cloud storage.

What volume is available and how to increase it

So how many numbers can a Tele2 SIM card hold? Unfortunately, this operator cannot boast of a large SIM capacity: the memory is designed for only 100 contacts. But we must understand that here the concept of “contact” can be interpreted as “cell”. Accordingly, several numbers of one person, combined under one contact, will occupy only one cell. That is, from “Vasya’s work”, “Vasya’s home” and “Vasya something else” you can make one Vasya, under which all his contact information will appear. Information on how to activate a SIM card on your phone is in another article.

Electronic media is not a bag, and it cannot be stretched: no matter how many contacts were placed on the Tele2 SIM card initially, this maximum will remain for it. But you can always take advantage of additional features. Namely, connect the device to cloud storage and set up archiving or backup of data to it. This could be iCloud, Samsung Cloud, Google or Yandex drives, etc.

Still, you shouldn’t ignore your phone’s address book. Most modern devices have the function of transferring contacts from one to another. Therefore, changing a smartphone does not necessarily involve tedious porting of numbers manually.

You may be wondering, at what age can you get a Tele2 SIM card? We suggest you read about it.

Please note: sometimes we receive strange messages on our phone from strange numbers, so if you want to learn more about them, read the relevant articles:

Cache full

It happens that the phone does not see contacts simply because the cache is full. This is an area of memory where temporary data is stored and accumulates over time. Since the amount of memory is not infinite, over time it simply ceases to be enough for the growing cache. As a result, an error may occur when saving a new name. Of course, saving is not performed in this case. The cache can be cleared, thereby freeing up some of the smartphone's memory. This is a safe procedure, not only is it useful, and it is useful to do it sometimes for different applications, especially those that are used frequently. This will also have a better effect on performance.

To clear the phone book cache, go to your phone settings, in “Applications”. Find “Contacts” there, select this application. In its settings, like all others, there is a “Delete/Clear cache” button, click it. Temporary data is also cleared for other applications. If after this Android does not see the contacts on the SIM card, then the problem is different.

SIM cards - functions and features

Once upon a time, more than 20 years ago, which by the standards of the modern IT industry can even be considered untrue, mobile phones used special numbers recorded in them at the factory to identify themselves in the cellular provider network. However, this approach was not very convenient for both users and manufacturers. They were interested in "separating" the subscriber ID from the hardware. This is how the idea of using additional individual cards with built-in microcircuits arose. This approach is used today in networks of various standards - GSM, CDMA, UMTS, LTE, but we will talk mainly about the most widespread option - GSM/3G.

The telephone device, as a physical device, has an IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) number, which can be considered unique on a global scale. It participates in the transaction logs of the cellular operator and, in principle, can be used to block access to the network, search for stolen phones and other similar actions. In some countries, it is illegal to falsify or change this number. The IMEI number can usually be found on a sticker under the battery and on the box. From a technical point of view, it is written electronically in one of the microcircuits and, of course, can also be read programmatically. If the telephone has the ability to install several SIM cards, then there are also several IMEI numbers. This number is available not only for phones, but also for modems, tablets and other devices designed to work in mobile networks. Formally, manufacturers could get by with just this number and not use traditional serial numbers for their products, but today this “separate” approach is more convenient for them.

A similar SIM card number is called ICCID (Integrated Circuit Card Identifier). It is often engraved on the cards themselves. It is similar to the serial number of the device - the only difference is that it is unique and cannot be repeated on any other card in the world. Although if you add the manufacturer and model name to the serial number of the phone, then this combination will also be unique.

Direct identification of the subscriber in the cellular network takes place using the IMSI (International Mobile Subscriber Identity) number, which is recorded in the SIM card. This number determines the ownership of the card by the operator and allows you to link the card user with his account with the provider, including the phone number, permitted services, and so on. The card also stores other unique information, the description of which is beyond the scope of this article.

A few words should be said about card protection. The first milestone is a four-digit PIN code. If you don't know it, you won't be able to use the card to access a cellular network or read your address book. The user can change or cancel this code (it is usually disabled on newly purchased cards). If the PIN code was entered incorrectly several times, to unlock it you need to use the PUK code, also provided by the operator along with the SIM card. Even less commonly used are PIN2 and PUK2 codes, which allow the user to limit the list of allowed subscribers for outgoing calls.

But even if you know all these codes, you won’t be able to copy the card using everyday methods. There is another special code written inside it, known to the operator, which is used in the identification algorithm. This process is designed in such a way that the pure code is not transferred from the card to the phone. Instead, the device sends a task to the SIM card processor to encrypt the key, and transmits the response to the operator. The latter compares the result with that received in its data center, and if they match, the subscriber gains access to the network.

One of the popular options for “full-size” smart cards today

Technically, a SIM card is one of the variants of smart cards - microcomputers with their own processor and memory that communicate with the outside world through an interface of several electrical contacts. Smart cards are found today in the banking industry, used for access control and in various payment systems. Usually the card has several kilobytes of permanent memory, a couple of kilobytes of RAM and some flash. In the case of phones, the latter was previously used to store a notebook, but the limit on the number of entries (250) and support for only two fields (name and phone) has practically deprived it of this role today.

Electronic filling takes up very little space

Formally, the card has eight contacts for connecting to a reader (if you try really hard, you can try to count more). However, in reality only six are used. And given modern progress in microelectronics, the filling takes up literally a few square millimeters.

But if we talk about external dimensions, then it all started with a credit card format - 85.6 × 53.98 × 0.76 mm. This format of smart cards is still used today, but it stopped satisfying the wishes of cell phone manufacturers a very long time ago. Much more practical is the Mini-SIM version, which measures 25x15 mm with a beveled corner (to determine the required orientation of the card in the slot). The thickness did not change. It is this format that is the most widespread today and is found in most cell phones.

Mini-SIM and Micro-SIM cards use much less plastic

It is clear that such a reduction did not bring any losses in terms of functionality. But you need to understand that Mini-SIM is good specifically for placement in a telephone body. Using a card of this size, for example, for payphones, is obviously inconvenient.

After the massive transition to the Mini-SIM format, for a very long time it remained practically the only option for use in the field of mobile communications. Even successes in reducing the external dimensions of telephone sets did not require further reduction of the subscriber card. But still, he was not allowed to gain a foothold for centuries.

Special frames can be used to install Micro-SIM (sometimes Mini-SIM)

One of the most active market players in its new smartphone model two and a half years ago implemented work with the Micro-SIM format, the dimensions of the cards are 15x12 mm (the thickness has not changed again). For cards of this format, almost the entire front surface was occupied by contact pads. But there were no technical difficulties for him to place the chip, especially with the development of chip manufacturing technologies. Note that, from a consumer device design perspective, the market did not require this step. So, rather, the company played in the field of marketing, once again repeating “we are not like everyone else.”

Electronic “filling” takes up very little space even in Mini- and Micro-SIM

Interestingly, this year the same manufacturer played this card again. The latest model of their smartphone works exclusively with Nano-SIM, in which the thickness has already been reduced - 12.3 × 8.8 × 0.67 mm. Eight standard contacts no longer fit into this format, so only six truly working ones remain. No technical functions of the card were affected this time either, but the size of the new phone was not as reduced as one might think (and some even increased).

Almost the entire front surface of Nano-SIM is occupied by contact pads

A very reasonable question arises: how does this miniaturization story affect consumers? If we talk about those who buy a new phone with a contract and a new card, they usually don’t care what version of the SIM card is installed in it. And if a person basically has only one phone or he doesn’t plan to rearrange cards, then it’s not even “usually”, but “absolutely”.

To install Micro-SIM in the Mini-SIM bay, you can use adapters

But for those users who are accustomed to using several devices and/or SIM cards, the situation is less pleasant. In the case of a Mini/Micro pair, you can try to make do with so-called adapters/adapters (of course, after replacing all Mini format cards with Micro format cards). There are no advantages to this story, only disadvantages - you need to carry additional parts with you, and in addition, the adapter can damage the connector contacts during replacement (or the assembly may even get stuck in the slot).

As for changing cards, the official way is to visit your operator’s salon, write an application, wait and all that. In addition, if you suddenly have some entries on the card, you will need to take care of saving them. A more affordable option in terms of time spent is to contact numerous workshops, where your card will be cut with a special tool in a couple of seconds (by the way, large salons and even the operators themselves do this). If you really don’t want to go anywhere, then a sharp knife and a strong hand can also successfully solve the problem. For the first time, a printout from the Internet with a “cutting” diagram may be useful (see, for example, option 1, option 2).

With Nano-SIM the situation is more complicated, since both the linear dimensions and thickness of the card are smaller. The methods remain the same. But at present the first of them should be recognized as the most correct. However, given the prevalence and cost of the device, for which you may need a Nano-SIM, this should not be a problem.

Reset

If the numbers do not appear, and all previous actions have not brought results, you can try resetting the settings. To do this, go to “Settings” – “Backup and reset” – “Reset settings”. On different smartphones and versions of the Android system, the name of this item may differ slightly, but it is not difficult to find.

Remember that some data may be deleted during a reset, so copy photos, music, and anything valuable that you don’t want to lose to your computer in advance.

Such an operation is similar to reinstalling the system on a computer and can also work wonders. Over time, files and applications accumulate on your smartphone, and various settings change. All this ultimately leads, sooner or later, to a drop in performance and noticeable “slowdown” of the device. A factory reset solves many problems, even those that have no apparent cause. This may include contacts on the SIM card.

How to restore numbers on a SIM card

Many years ago, when there were no cell phones yet, in every home you could find a notebook in which phone numbers were written down. There were also special directories with telephone numbers, published in almost all cities. In them one could find not only telephone numbers of organizations, but also home numbers of friends, acquaintances, relatives, and colleagues.

In the absence of such a directory, one could make a call to the help desk, give the person’s name and address, and get his phone number. In cellular communications there is no such opportunity, since operators do not have the right to provide personal data of their customers upon a routine request.

MTS SIM card cost

There are several features that significantly affect the future cost of the contract and the plastic itself.

How much does an MTS SIM card cost for a phone?

The price of the purchased product is influenced by the following factors:

the required amount of funds in the account;
selected tariff plan;
delivery (availability or absence).

Thus, the cheapest SIM card without a tariff will cost 200 rubles. If the consumer requires delivery, the cost will increase to 400-600 rubles, depending on the chosen method of transferring the envelope. The size of the plastic can also affect the price.

If the purchase offers connection to a tariff plan, then the cost can increase from 200-250 rubles to 550 and above. However, in this case, much will depend on the region of acquisition. Thus, the most popular Smart program can be connected for 500 rubles, Smat Mini – for 350, and Smart+ – 250 rubles. The programs include various options:

unlimited Internet;
minutes for calls;
traffic packages for using the global network;
SMS.

When purchasing a new product, customers are interested in how much an MTS SIM card costs. Typically, the price tag for combinations of these services is set so that the SIM is provided free of charge, and the money paid for it is immediately recorded in the open balance. In this case, as a rule, the balance must be replenished with the amount necessary to pay off the first month of use, that is, the subscription fee.

Cost of a SIM card for a modem

SIM for modems and routers can be purchased separately or together with the device itself. For the second case, promotions are often opened that allow you to buy plastic with the current tariff plan at a reduced cost or receive it for free as an add-on. If the card is purchased separately, the MTS-Connect-4 tariff plan is usually connected to it in the office - the only current offer today. You can usually use it at a price of 2.9 rubles/megabyte, if you do not connect additional options (packages S, M or L). In the second case, the price tag changes significantly. Today, most often they offer to connect programs with unlimited Internet at a cost of 750 rubles/month. Plastic will cost the same amount.

As in the case of a phone card, the company allows you to buy regular plastic, and then choose the options yourself if necessary. However, it is recommended to consult with a specialist while still in the office.

For tablet

Often the tariff offered to subscribers for a modem is also offered to users of various tablet computers, since it turns out to be extremely profitable. You are also allowed to purchase any program designed specifically for smartphones.

In phone memory

The memory of modern smartphones can store a huge number of contacts of various types - these are phone numbers, addresses, and emails. Therefore, the advantage of this method will be the ability to store large amounts of necessary information in one place.

However, this is also the main drawback - all information can be irretrievably lost if the device is lost, its state is reset to factory settings, or the gadget breaks down. If in the first two cases nothing can be restored, then in the latter, in case of repair, the data will be saved.

How many numbers can fit on a megaphone SIM card?

Tell me how many contacts can fit on a Tele2 SIM card?

Ekaterina, good afternoon! Each operator has its own amount of memory on SIM cards. In particular, on Tele2 you can save no more than 100 phone numbers.

Tell me, what is the size of SIM card memory for other operators?

How much space on SIM card for Tele2 contacts

For example, on new Beeline and MegaFon SIM cards it is possible to save up to two hundred numbers as contacts. On an MTS SIM card, it is possible to register two hundred and fifty contacts in memory, and on Tele2 no more than a hundred. You can find out the memory of your SIM card in the settings of your phone.

How many contacts fit on a SIM (read more...)

The eSIM format is not available for use on all phones, but only on those that have a built-in SIM card of this format. Unlike the usual SIM cards of MTS, Beeline, MegaFon and any other operator, with eSIM you can simultaneously save as many numbers in its memory as the subscriber needs, but no more than five, but you won’t be able to store contacts on such a card.

Storing contacts on your phone

The generally accepted method is to record the contact in the phone's memory. It's fast and convenient: modern smartphones have capacious memory and can save thousands of contacts. Moreover, we are talking not only about the phone number, but also about the address, company, home phone and other subscriber data.

The only negative is that if the phone is lost, critically damaged, or accidentally reset to factory settings, all data will disappear. This applies to photos, videos, notes and contacts. That is why this method cannot be considered as the only correct one. You need to make a backup copy on your computer or in a cloud service.

However, according to reviews from those who lost all their contacts along with their phone, nothing bad happens: the phone book fills up again in about a month. The loss can be considered cleaning, because sometimes the hand does not rise to remove some contacts on its own.

Does size affect price?

Today, a lot of transformable cards are produced, allowing you to choose the appropriate format not only in the office when purchasing, but also at home. There is no need to specifically request a size (standard, micro- or nano-SIM), since each package contains several special frames that allow you to choose any one. Thus, the cost turns out to be one. However, if you hire a professional to convert your old standard plastic to another, you may incur additional charges.

Cloud storage

This method has something in common with the previous one: there is no point in separately storing a phone book on the Internet, but you definitely need to copy it and store it on a server to gain access after the phone is stolen or broken.

Phones running the iOS operating system are integrated with the iCloud cloud service, and contacts are saved there automatically. That's why when you buy a new iPhone, you don't need to rewrite your contacts - they will appear immediately after you sign in to your Apple ID.

With phones running the Android operating system, the most convenient way to save contacts is in the Gmail service. In the Contacts application, you need to find the line “Copy contacts” (or “transfer”), select the copy source - SIM card or phone memory - and copy to your Google account.

Copied contacts can be further processed on the computer in the Gmail interface: add an address, photo, position or any note about the subscriber. Now your contacts are protected: if your phone is lost or broken, they can be easily restored. As a last resort, enter it manually from Google.

Saving contacts on a SIM card

The good old method, which has been working since the days of push-button Nokia. Despite its miniature size, a SIM card is a real mini-computer with a processor, RAM, permanent and rewritable memory. It is in the rewritable memory that contacts are recorded and erased.

When storing information on a SIM card, the question immediately arises: how many contacts does a SIM card hold? The number is different for everyone, but in general the range is from 100 to 200 contacts.

A Tele2 SIM card can only store 100 contacts;
The Megafon SIM card can hold 200 phone numbers;
The Beeline SIM card also has 200;
Old MTS SIM cards include 250 numbers, new ones no more than 200.

Now you know how many rooms can accommodate SIM cards from different operators. Of course, this volume is not enough for a modern active person - according to statistics, an average of 1000 contacts are stored in phone books. This includes unwanted contacts: you also need to allocate a place for them in order to identify them and not pick up the phone, add them to the blacklist.

Why store contacts on a SIM card?

Why, with many modern methods, do many people prefer to store contacts on a SIM card rather than on the Internet? There are such reasons:

Liquidity - quick access to contacts, no need to go online to search for contacts;
Greater data security - it is impossible to send a virus to a SIM card and steal personal data;
If necessary, a SIM card with contacts can be inserted into the simplest phone; it is not necessary to have an expensive smartphone.

When storing contacts on a SIM card, it is important to keep in mind: if you have to change the SIM card, the contacts on it will be lost. Restoring a SIM card allows you to return the money in your account, save the tariff and connected services, but you cannot restore contacts. So this method cannot be considered reliable. However, from a SIM card you can get a copy of your contacts on your phone in just a couple of minutes and copy them to a new SIM card.

Restoring numbers on a Beeline SIM card: basic techniques in 2021

What to do if the phone numbers and all contacts of your acquaintances and friends have been deleted from the SIM card of your smartphone? How to restore numbers on a Beeline SIM card yourself? Losing numbers from a Beeline SIM card can lead to a variety of consequences, even the most negative. The “contacts” section in the phone is the main one for any user. We look into it when we need to contact relatives, colleagues, and make important calls.

Any user has found himself in such an unpleasant situation at least once in his life. After this, many people refused to use a SIM card from this operator, thinking that the loss of contacts was the fault of the company. In fact, there are many reasons for the disappearance of numbers, but you should never despair, especially if the user is the owner of a Beeline SIM card.

The “bee” operator has been working in the domestic cellular communications market for many years, having created a huge number of tools that help users overcome any problems without loss. Including the loss of contacts from the SIM card.

According to official statistics 2021, most cell phone and smartphone users store numbers in the SIM card memory and not on the device itself. The main reason for this is simple: users change phones more often than SIM cards. After the gadget fails, the user simply removes the card from it and inserts it into a new phone. Plastic carriers last for decades and gradually accumulate a significant number of numbers on them.

However, there are also situations when contacts from a SIM card are inaccessible to the user. For example, he may lose the card or damage it. Fortunately, all information from a SIM card can be recovered. This article is devoted to recovery methods.

Method one: visit the Beeline office

A visit to the office operator is a universal answer to all problems that arise. But in this case, you need to remember that the company employee will talk about the SIM card only with the direct subscriber of the number, that is, with the person whose personal data was used when registering the card.

To confirm your identity, you need to take your passport to the office or remember the code word.

The second stage of restoring contacts using the operator's office is preparing an application for . The subscriber will receive a complete printout of all received and sent calls for the time period specified by him.

It is imperative to take into account that detailing is not the fastest process. The application will be sent to the head office for consideration, which takes a lot of time.

Method two: recovery via “Personal Account”

Another effective method for restoring contacts on a SIM card is to use a unique Beeline tool called “Personal Account”. Each user of SIM cards of the “bee” operator who has gone through a simple registration procedure on the official web portal beeline.ru receives an account.

In the “Help” section, look for the “Detailing” subsection. We select the period of time for which we want to know data about outgoing/incoming calls. In addition, the user sets where exactly he wants to receive the list.

Allows you to restore numbers on the card and the “My Beeline” mobile application, which can be downloaded for free from Google Play or the App Store. To do this, we carry out the following manipulations:

in the menu located on the left side of the screen, look for the “Finance” section;
find in this section, select the required period.

If the safety of the SIM card is beyond doubt and only the information recorded on it is lost, the user can use the special “Detailing by e-mail” tool. The subscriber will receive detailed information about calls made over the last month by email. Activating the option is very simple: you need to send a message with your e-mail to the short number 1401. Sending a message is absolutely free.

If your phone was stolen or you lost it, you need to block your SIM card as soon as possible. You can block by calling a special number 8-800-700-0611. If it is not possible to call this phone number, you should contact the Beeline communication salon. The operator will ask you to show your passport.

Having access to the global network allows you to block a SIM card through the “Personal Account”.

Watch the video: “How to block a SIM card yourself 2018”

If you decide to block your SIM card, then watch the online video instructions. Here we describe in detail how to block a mobile phone SIM card yourself.

By the way, access to the card can also be restored by calling 8-800-700-061. You can also send an application to activate your number. To do this, you need to come to the office and fill out an application with the help of the operator. The application form will be given to the user at the bee operator’s office.

How to recover PIN and PUK codes

The PIN code combination is a universal and effective means of protecting Beeline SIM cards. However, it happens that the user forgets the code, tries to remember it and enters the combination incorrectly several times. In this case, the SIM card is simply blocked.

To restore access to the number, the subscriber will have to use the PUK code. This digital security combination can be found on the plastic base of the SIM card directly under the PIN code.

Using the PUK code, the user changes the PIN code to a new one. This procedure occurs using a special combination:

**05*PUK code*new PIN*repeat new PIN#

Losing the PUK code is also not fatal for the SIM card. You can regain access to it by visiting the office or by calling 8-800-700-0611. The client will definitely need passport data, and at the office he will be asked to write an application to restore the codes.

Summary

You can store phone book contacts in different ways: in the phone memory, in a cloud service, and on a SIM card. Modern SIM cards can accommodate from 100 to 200 contacts.

If you use the methods separately, this does not ensure 100% data security. Only a combination of methods works well: write all contacts to the phone’s memory, export to the cloud - iCloud, Gmail or Dropbox, and copy the most important ones to a SIM card.

Mobile operator subscribers and smartphone owners have many questions regarding the operation of SIM cards. This small chip is used to provide communication services. The card is a truly smart device capable of storing information. The word “information” means contacts from the phone book, as well as SMS messages.

How much space on SIM card for Tele2 contacts

What SIM cards do operators use?

Russian users know SIM cards by their MiniSIM format. It is the one that is used most often. Mobile operators continue to issue such cards, despite the fact that almost all smartphones support NanoSIM.

In recent years, operators have been selling universal SIM cards. The subscriber can independently remove the SIM card of the required size from the plastic case.

What to do if the SIM card cannot be inserted into the phone

Since there are several types of SIM cards, the corresponding trays in mobile phones differ. For many years there was no other standard other than Mini-SIM. But time passed, and manufacturers tried to reduce the information chip as much as possible.

By 2021, almost all smartphones will have a NanoSIM tray. But what to do if the SIM card does not fit into this connector. Output 2:

Contact the operator's office to replace the card with a newer one.

How many contacts fit on a SIM card

For example, an MTS SIM card can hold 250 numbers. Owners of Megafon SIM cards can add 200 contacts to their phone book. But Tele2 manages to retain only 100 subscribers. Business people will definitely not have enough of a notebook that can hold 100 numbers. We need to look for a way to increase storage.

How to expand your phone book

If your SIM card runs out of space for storing contacts, there is no need to be upset. There is an ideal way out of the situation, allowing you to increase your starting storage from 250 to an almost infinite number of numbers. All you need to do is save the numbers not to the SIM card, but to the phone’s memory. A similar option is offered whenever the user is about to add a new subscriber.

If the number is already saved in the SIM card’s memory, you can copy or move it to your phone. To do this, you will need a standard phone book application, in which you highlight the desired contact, and then press the “Copy” or “Move” button.

Another way to place more contacts than necessary is to use any messenger. Now there are a huge number of them: WhatsApp, Viber, Telegram and others. Calling applications have their own phone book, which does not take into account the number of numbers stored on the SIM card or smartphone.

Even when all the numbers are saved in the memory of the phone or instant messenger, there is still a risk of losing them along with the device. To prevent this from happening, it is recommended to constantly update the backup copy of the data on your smartphone, sending the backup to the cloud. There, numbers and multimedia files will be stored exactly until the user wants to restore the copy.

How to properly store contacts on your phone so as not to lose them at the most important moment

The list of contacts in modern smartphones can be stored in three places at once: in the phone’s memory, on the SIM card and in cloud services. Let's figure out where it's best to do this, so that at the most important moment you won't be left without critical information.

The simplest and most common way to store contacts is on the phone itself. As a rule, any modern device has an impressive amount of memory, which can easily accommodate thousands of contacts. What’s important is that when you save a number in your phone, you can specify a bunch of related information along with it: home phone number, email, subscriber address, etc.

Unfortunately, storing contacts in the phone's memory has one fundamental drawback. If the gadget suddenly breaks or is reset to factory settings, then along with all other files you will lose your contacts. Hundreds of numbers will have to be re-recognized and entered again.

You can save up to 250 contacts on an MTS SIM card. Additional ones need to be saved to the phone memory.

SIM card

Each SIM card has a small amount of built-in memory - it’s too small to store files there, but for several dozen or even hundreds of contacts it’s fine. The advantages of storing contacts in a SIM card are obvious - problems with the phone will not affect the SIM card, so nothing will happen to the numbers even if the gadget breaks down. It is enough to move the SIM card into a new phone so that the usual list of contacts is at hand.

The key problem with this storage method is that only a few numbers can fit on a SIM card. Moreover, SIM cards differ in memory capacity from different mobile operators. So, old SIM cards from MTS can store up to 250 contacts, new ones can store up to 200, SIM cards from Beeline and MegaFon can hold 200, and Tele2 can only hold 100 numbers.

Facts about SIM cards

SIM is a traditional standard on the basis of which mobile network subscriber identification cards operate. It is most common in those countries where cellular communication services are provided via GSM channels.

SIM cards are protected by several types of codes - PIN and PUC. Entering the first one from the phone by default is required for the subscriber to gain access to the network. But the user can, if he so desires, disable it. The PUC code is used to unlock a SIM card in which the PIN code has been entered incorrectly 3 times in a row.

Cloud storage

The most current way to store contacts is cloud services. They allow you to insure yourself in case of problems with your phone or loss of your SIM card. By default, this function is implemented both by Apple, where the numbers stored in the phone’s memory are automatically duplicated to the iCloud cloud, and by Adroid, where the numbers are linked to your email. The method is as convenient as possible, since even when purchasing a new smartphone, there is no need to enter contacts again - the old ones will be transferred to the device from the cloud.
