    Hello,

    When I click contacts > settings

    all that comes up is

    import/export contacts
    contacts to display
    Only contacts with phones
    Sort by
    Display contacts by
    Send multiple name cards
    Online search
    Accounts



    And if I click on an individual contact and choose 'edit', it does not let me change WHERE the number is saved to, i.e. sim card or google account.

    Thanks for your help

    Kind regards
