Where is safer to store phone numbers on a cell?

Question

I was wandering, I just bought a cell phone and there is place to store phone numbers on the phone and on the sim card, where is better and safer to save the numbers.
I was thinking if the phone breaks can I get the phone numbers or if the sim card gets damaged can I retrieve the numbers.
which one the phone or the sim card get damaged or broken faster?

statistics or private experience

Answer 1

The phone will break faster than the sim card...but, let's say you lose your phone or your phone gets stolen...then you are screwed. I just recently spent a few hours hand writing the numbers in my phone down in a book in case anything would happen. It's the only way to be sure that you will always have those numbers!!! That sucks though, right??

Answer 2

The phone is more likely to get broken, or at least out-of-date. A SIM card now will still work great 5 years from now. If you upgrade your phone it's easier to keep it on the card. And cards are more durable than phones - if you crack the phone and drop the screen, your card is still fine.

The only reason to keep the number on your phone is if you switch SIM cards with regularity (you go overseas and use a different provider there, for instance, but you want the same phonebook).

Answer 3

I would go with the sim card. It's more likely that the cell phone is going to break, they break very easily these days, all they have to do is fall in water and they're toasted. Also it'll save a lot of trouble if you get a new phone.

Answer 4

Store your numbers to your sim card, or to both places. Your phone is much more likely to be damaged beyond use than your sim card. Your sim card is basically waterproof, and beyond taking it out of your phone and breaking it physically it will always work.

Answer 5

put them on the sim card and after that copy them in the phone. many cellphones have the option of choosing what numbers to be shown. i suggest that you keep the numbers on your sim card so if you have a problem with the phone you can find your numbers just by introducing your sim card in another phone

Answer 6

You are more likely to replace the phone than the card, but you should keep the numbers written down somewhere in case you lose the phone.

Answer 7

Get this! u’s’a creates terrorism by creating terrorists trained up by cia and fbi and other crap organizations that are nothing but terrorist camps both on u’s’ soil and abroad. Example, both bin laden and saddam hussein have been trained by cia in and out of the usa and they were posted to their position, and these posts have been attacked and invaded by u's'a, how many others like bin laden and saddam did cia train and post to their positions around the world so that they can be attacked and invaded depending on the cia agenda.
