How can I save contacts on the SIM card alone by default?

Question

Using ICS, is it possible to store and use all my contacts on SIM only?

If it is possible I don't really want to copy all my contacts to the phone and I would prefer all the new contacts to be stored only on SIM card.

Note, that while saving on the SIM, you can store far fewer entries and each entry would correspond to ONE number so multiple phone numbers for a single contact would still occupy multiple slots and capacity. Also, other fields like address, birthday, email etc. can't be used. — Sparx, Apr 6 '12 at 17:42

You haven't mentioned which phone you use.

Unsure about ICS, but on Gingerbread, go to Contacts - press MENU > MORE > SETTINGS > SAVE CONTACTS to - SIM

This is available on newer versions though, YMMV.

I don't have such menu path... There is no "MENU > MORE > SETTINGS > SAVE CONTACTS to - SIM". I'm running 4.0.2. – Ecir Hana Apr 7 '12 at 10:05
Same here. No Settings menu at all. There are five options: "view group", "fast call", "accounts", "import/export" and "view profile" that all. No settings. – Calmarius Mar 31 '15 at 23:58
