SIM cards suck
why can't you transfer contacts with their appropriate associatione (ie mobile, home, etc) via sim card. Also why is there no standard sim software for all make and models...today i had to erase names off my sim card one by one bc there was no feature that could simply erase the whole sim card (i know for a fact that some phones can do that). to me the sim card really does nothing more than provide the actual service to the phone...who agrees

Sounds like your real issue is with the phones not the sim cards. You pretty much answered your own questions. Different manufacturers have different ways to access and change sim card info. It's not the sim card's fault. Have you tried calling your phon...

You can buy a sim card reader and software 🙂 it makes life a whole lot easier when trying to manage sim data.

where do i get one

it's prob gonna be expensive... sim cards can hold the info you want it to, but it's up to the phone to know it can transfer the info. i've used a blackberry 7290(cing) and my sim held my email addys as well as numbers. Only one contact #/email per name, but it works.

How can you say a SIM card sucks, would you rather transfer every single number manually with a CDMA phone? SIM cards make life a whole lot easier are one of the best features of GSM
...
you dont have to do it manually with CDMA genious. Almost all CDMA carrier corporate stores cables that can transfer phonebooks from phone to phone in about 2 seconds.
...
So do GSM carriers. Still one step ahead of you. In fact, we transfer it in just 1 second. 😁

You should go to Verizon. There you can pay $20 or whatever for the privilege of taking your phonebook with you from your old phone to the next, and they will probably mess it up for you.
All the phones I've had since 1998 store numbers on the phone itself, so your complaints are moot anyway. If you want to get rid of SIMs just because they don't fulfill an ancillary duty to your satisfaction, you're off the rocker. I can live with not being able to store more than 1 number per contact when the alternative is so ****ty.
