Android contact and SMS backup solution
/*
1. use Apps like Sim Manager to verify if there is any message or contact in the sim cards
*remember Android can only read Sim Card other than Airplane mode
2. if there is message -> go to Messaging -> Settings -> Manage Sim Card Messages, copy to device for backup later
if there is contact -> go to Contact -> Settings -> Contact to display to display Sim Card only contacts
3. Install tools like https://www.wandoujia.com/###
4. Connect the device
5. Go to contact -> select Sim Card only in the top right selection -> Select All -> Export -> Select Format -> Save
6. Since message is in device, can be exported together if there is no need to split them to backup separately.
