I got a new P3470 yesterday. I had hundreds of numbers on my SIM card, many of which I no longer use. I figured, who needs the numbers on the SIM card if you are synchronizing with Outlook. Made sense to me at least. So I found a function on my old phone which supposedly deleted ALL the numbers from the SIM card. I even had to enter a code to do it. I was informed the numbers had been deleted. Then I hooked up to Outlook and synchronized. The Outlook appear to be correctly moved over from the PC to the HIC. The amazing this is that the SIM card is filled again. Many of the SIM entries also have parallel Outlook entries. And many of the SIM entries do NOT have parallel Outlook entries. These are the contacts that I no longer want to have anymore. I suppose I could delete them individually but there are many. Close to 100. What I don't get is where they come from. The have been mysteriously resurrected if my assumption that I deleted them all yesterday using the old phone is correct. My questions are: how did they resurrect themselves? Do I need duplicate entries on a SIM card if I synchronize with Outlook? If I don't need them, how can I get rid of them once and for all? Many thanks for any insight here.
