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.

    I'm having similar problems here.  I want to transfer the contacts from my Lumia 635, but do not have the option as others have also encountered.

    I also don't have the option to export to sd card.

    I have been using my hotmail account on my Lumia, but the contacts in my phone don't all appear in my hotmail account.  Is the easiest thing to somehow get those into hotmail rather than trying to transfer to SIM or something?

    Thanks in advance.
