Is there a limit to the amount of characters a SIM contact can have? I know your software allows the entry of a large amount of characters, but my partner's Nokia phone only displays 15 - 16 characters for contacts.

Could you make it an option in your software to limit the amount of characters a contact entry can have?

Thank you

Yes, there is a limit, and it depends on the SIM card. Check out the attached screenshot, it shows Name length = 16.

If you attempt to write longer names than the maximum length, only the first 16 characters will be written.

In other words, it is not a limitation of SIM Manager, but a limitation of the SIM card.
