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.

    You cannot. Download this app " Print my contacts" and export your contacts, then import it from your email using the same app on the other phone.

    Hi Jay and 7th;

    Starting with my first windows phone, win6 phone and outlook 2003, and currently in my phone win8.1 and outlook 2010 (currently using) I have loads of extra data associated with each contact which I have collected over the years.

    Not only is it possible with Outlook 2003 thru 2010 and wphones to have addresses and phone numbers in your contacts, but you can store much more.

    Look under "other", and you will find birthday, significant other, etc. which is great information when working with bisnuess contacts, friends and relatives.

    Apparently contacts.live is unable to mine and store that data off my phone. Just seems to have my Hotmail contacts. Whoopie considering that there is not much there.
