Contacts disappeared from storage card when phone linked to new PC

It unfortunately appears that your contacts were saved to the SIM you changed. Looking at the manual for this model of phone, each contact will either be labeled "Phone" or "SIM," which tells you where it was saved to. Since you changed SIM cards, and I assume the contacts were saved there, your contacts were "lost" because they're essentially no longer in the phone.

Provided you still have your original SIM card, you can place it back into the phone and manually change all of your contacts to be saved on the phone itself.

You can prevent this from happening again by pressing Menu, then going to Settings, then Phonebook, then Storage and setting it to "Phone". Please keep in mind that this setting limits you to 500 separate contacts, with 3 numbers to each.

Go to settings and select where your contacts are stored 'phone/tablet storage' or SIM card storage.

Select SIM card. New contains will remain stored however you plug in your charger

Usually the SD card is a secondary storage device ... and separate from the (internal) phone memory. To determine / test this, see if your phone still have (some) information when you remove the SD card from the phone... e.g. your telephone contact list, etc.
Yes, you can try to recover the "deleted" file on the SD card using a PC / laptop ... using a data recovery utility/tool (on your PC) to scan the storage space or "undelete" that deleted file..

If your phone can be attached to a PC (e.g. via USB), and if your PC recognizes the "storage" disk on your phone as an "external" disk, you may also be able to use a data recovery utility to scan the storage space or "undelete" that deleted file.

Hi,
Buy the Samsung OEM data cable along with the ActiveSync install CD. These are purchased together as a set from a reputable cell phone dealer . Enable your computer to access transfer data from your computer to your Samsung BlackJack cell phone by installing the ActiveSync CD. Before installing ActiveSync make sure all other programs are closed.

Insert the OEM data cable to your Samsung BlackJack cell phone.Plug in the other end of the OEM data cable to your computer using the USB port.

Watch as transfer begins automatically with the ActiveSync program. This will transfer your stored phone numbers from your computer to your Samsung BlackJack cell phone.

End the ActiveSync program by closing the window. Open the contact information in your Samsung BlackJack phone to make sure all information was transferred.

Set your phone to sinchronize your contacts with your PC (if not already set), and sync them. Then, start Outook on your PC, go to the Contacts tab, select the contacts you want to see excluded from your phone's internal memory, and delete them (either go to 'Edit > Delete', or 'Ctrl-D', or simply 'Del'). Now, re-synchronize your phone with your PC. I suppose ActiveSync on your phone will automatically delete the contacts you have excluded from Outlook on your PC.
Hope it works for you.
