What i did was, Flash CM6.1 and then install contact2sim from the market and use it. Contact2sim does not work on the stock sense rom.
Hope that helps!

have you tried MyPhoneExplorer to pull the numbers from your phone to PC?
probably not what youre looking for....

Even with newest oxygen? Are you sure you have contacts in sim card? Try it in a simple phone. Ie sonyericsson.

I had a similar problem when I imported my contacts from a vCard file on my SD card. They didn't show up in Contacts but did show up in SMS and the call log.
The problem is that by default unsynced contacts are hidden from the list. To show them, hit Menu > Display options, tap your Google account, put a check in "All Other Contacts," then finally tap the Done button. Your unsynced contacts should show up now.

Export contacts to sd, delete all contacts, import contacts from sd, then turn off google contact sync. Worked for me but it's more of a work around than fix.

I've got the same problem, but it doesn't matter - it'll be resolved I think.
So is this yet another side-effect of the last firmware update...?

HTC desire running Cmod 7 issues.

Okay I'm running the latest cyanogen rom and all is well besides the fact I've lost some contacts and am unable to store new ones on the sim.
Is there a way around this?

yeppers, use your google account for contacts storage, you will never have a problem
+1
Google account automatically syncs with your phone, no need to hassle with contacts backup/restore Also, it can be used to backup your installed apps automatically (without settings restored tho)
Thank you so much guys

Invaluable tip, thanks very much. Had the same problem.
Pendlebum I downloaded an application called contacts2sim and it will store any numbers you have stored to your phone to your sim. Its a bit of an inconvenience but it works

Still no app that can remove or merge dublicate contants..

was wondering
Don't know if there's an app for that.
I did it using my google account.
The dialer or contacts app for miui has remove duplicate feature. You could install that or flash it, which ever way works.
Swyped...
I believe that this issue can easily solved by using the HTC sense link function in your people app ...

Sim contacts

How to save contact direct to sim card and not in phone memory?Iam using cm7.1.0.1
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
Use a 3rd party app like Contact2SIM from the market (Tested personally. I needed my contacts on a dumbphone, and transferring via SIM was the only option)
I'm on nightlies but If I go to contacts press menu then import/export I can backup to my SD.
Edit:: my bad, didn't read the op correctly again, thought you said SD card not sim.

Thanx 3xeno....
I don't wanna backup bt want save new contact automatically to sim...

I don't think CM has such an option built-in. You will have to go for "periodic" backups at best.
