Answer:
Most people would choose "To Sim" as this will save it on the tiny card that can be removed from your phone so therefore you can have your contacts transferred to a different phone more easily.
Be aware that many phones have a better PIM (personal information manager) built into the phone that can better organize your contacts.
Example of the difference:
SIM CONTACT:
John Doe 2125555721/h
John Doe 2125557825/w
PHONE CONTACT:
John Doe (212)555-5721 (pic of a house that you can scroll to see his cell phone number) Save it to your Sim. A sim card is really just like a name tag for the network you have. There isn%26#39;t an actual storage device on your sim it sends everything into the network kinda like how yahoo saves your account name and password. If your phone gets damaged or you switch phones your numbers won%26#39;t be lost. Unless of course you switch to a CDMA phone. There really isnt an up side to saving it to your phone. basically any number thats really important save to your sim. To phone will store the numbers in the actual phone itself. To SIM will store them in a removable card that could eventually be put into a different phone. That is the only advantage, that it can be removed and put in a different phone. This is not much of an advantage because the phone store guys can transfer your numbers to a new phone anyway. I ran out of space on my phone and had to use the card, but storing them in either place is pretty much the same.
