Your contacts are always synced to your Microsoft Account in the cloud. You can verify this on your PC: https://contacts.live.com

To answer your question, there is no export to SIM function. You can export contacts (if you still need to) from the mentioned site though by choosing Manage > Export.

There is no way to put the contacts from your phone to SIM card. I can suggest a few alternatives though.

  1. Go to contacts.live.com. Login using your windowsphone account. All your phone contacts must be stored here.
  2. There is this app called TRANSFER MY DATA in the store under the section called APPS BY NOKIA. That app allows you to transfer contacts through Bluetooth to other phones.

Er No! I look at my Microsoft account and there is nothing about the contacts that are in my Win 8 phone that seem to be sucked up from the various sim cards that have been in it.

Guesss what I dont want my face book life in my phone or visa versa.

Just how do I do **** that was simple on old phones and is now imbloodypossible with 'smart' phones.

    Your contacts are stored in your online Microsoft account. You could export those contacts to a CSV file, then install the 30 day fully functional trial SIM management software (Dekart SIM Management software) to your computer and use it to import your contacts to the SIM card. Not an ideal workaround, but if your backup phone has no other way to sync contacts or if your cellphone provider doesn't provide any kind of alternative, it could work.

    Not much use if you've got to send your phone away to get repaired under warranty because there is no Care Point within about 250 miles and all you want to do is use an old phone to tide you over. Why have Windows designed out the simple and hassle free ability to copy your contacts from your phone to your SIM?
