Deleting contacts from iD sim card

Userlevel 1

I tried to “select all“ and delete all my contacts from my iD mobile SIM card but message showed “Error while saving contact”

I have managed to remove majority of my contacts from iD SIM card one at a time from my android phone.

I’m left with 7 contacts on SIM card that will not delete, still comes up with “Error while saving contact”

Any idea how to remove remaining contacts from Sim.

I clicked on contacts. - clicked on top right. - opened Sim tab. - shows 7 contacts. - clicked on 1 contact - delete. - error message appears.

Any ideas how to remove please.

Hello @Noz1954,

Try putting the SIM in another device and seeing if it allows you to delete the contacts from the SIM?

The contacts could be corrupted which is failing to fully remove.

The simple solution is just a replacement SIM, since the contacts are saved on the SIM, a new SIM will be fresh.

Awesome :)

Just know this as I helped my mum set-up her new phone recently so it sprung to mind right away!

Glad it worked.
