Hi,
I have been gifted a Samsung ACE GT i8160L from someone on telecom that upgraded. I've put my 2degrees SIM in and connected to services and internet etc. It won't however find my contacts on the SIM. Any ideas?

Do you have it set to use the SIM contacts or used the import function to import your SIM contacts to the phone? Most phones these days don't default to SIM contacts or actually use them.

Yeah I've tried all the settings and when I try to import none of the numbers show up it's strange. Then I tried saving a number to the Sim and that showed up? When I flip the Sim back in an old phone all the numbers are there including the newly added one...
