Windows mobile 6 Contacts and SIM

I'm not sure this is a limitation with Windows mobile 6 or how my contacts are stored in my SIM. I've a Razr V3xx from At&T where I would have one contact name with several phone number attached to it such as home, office, mobile. I used the built in copy fuction of the Razr and copy all of my contacts to my SIM. Now when I put my SIM into my HTC S710 running windows mobile 6, I can only see the home number listed for my contacts but no mobile, office numbers.

I wonder if anyone else have this problem? is it the limitation of WM6 where it can only read only one number of my contact stored in the SIM ?

its a limitation with the SIM SIm cards can only store one number per contact so when copying a contact from phone to SIm it usuall takes the first number in the list.

you should have seen if you could have synched the razor with out look first this would have guarenteed proper exporting of the contacts list

yes sim cards are very limited, they can have only one number attached to a each contact. with most phones now numbers and contacts arnt stored on the sim card as if they would in the past. most info today are either stored on the network or on the phones memory it self. with the new windows mobile phones they are both stored on the phone and on the synced computer as well.
