When I try to change what contacts to display in my address book I get this pop up that says Sim Card initializing... and it will just sit there and nothing happens. I had to reset my phone and I have all these contacts that I don't want to see in my adress book.  Is there a way to fix it? Other then this and sucky signal I have had since the last update the phone works fine.  I just want to be to able to use this feature in my address booK. Anyone else having the same issue?

jeh1984,

This is an odd occurance to have with your contacts. What make/model phone do you have? How do you get the notification to go away? If you could share some additional information, that will help. Thank you.

I have a note 3 and when it pops up it has ok button.  I'm waiting for a new sim card to see if they will fix my issue But this issue started from day one with the new nfc sim card. If I knew how to post a screen shot of what I'm getting I would post it.

The problem occurs when the setting "Contacts to display" is selected. A window opens that says "SIM card initializing...". The only way to make it go away is to select "OK" on the window. The phone never gets to the list of contact sources.

My phone is a GS4 Mini. However, on searching for this problem it seems there is a long history on numerous Samsung models. My GS5 has never done this before or after using a foreign SIM or with or without a SIM lock.

The phone initially worked fine. I then added a SIM lock. The problem occurred after that. I removed the SIM lock and it still occurred. I removed and re-installed the SIM and it still occurs.

elizajp,

We definitely want to make sure your phone works great for you! It's very important that you're able to manage your contacts. Are you able to try turning the phone off, removing the SIM, and then putting that back in and turning it back on? What do you do when this happens to get it working again?
