Hello,

I have developed a MIDlet to grab the contact info stored from the SIM card. I noticed that on some of the newer devices this seems to be ok but I have an older fliptop (clamshell) nokia phone and when I run my application it displays only the contacts from the phone memory and not from the sim card. This issue wouldnt be terrible except that the next thing my application is supposed to do is populate a menulist with the numbers for the selected contact. Again on newer nokia devices this seems to be fine but on this older device it doesnt populate a phone number. Now I am wondering if there is anything that I need to do differently for older phones models that wont allow sim card access?

Sorry that I keep using the term "older clamshell model" I genuinely have no idea what model of phone this is. I have gone through the entire phone and found no about or anything. It resembles a Nokia 2660 but it also has a little antenna coming off the left side.

I dont believe the issue would be model specific, but rather an issue with the phone only memory access. If my application is able to read contact names from the phone memory, should I not be able to also read the phone numbers from those same contacts?

I using the following code to pull up the contact after it is selected.

ContactList cl = PIM.openPIMList(PIM.ContactList,PIM.READ_ONLY);
Contact selectedContact = (Contact)cl.items(contactName);

where contactName represents a string in either FORMATTED_NAME format or NAME (StringArray) format.

Thanks in advance.

On Series 40 you can read contacts from phone memory as well as SIM memory.
On S60 you can read contacts from only phone memory.

Yes. Post the complete code in which you can read names and not phone number.
