Hello everyone
I bought a SGT-P6800(wifi+3G)and EVERYTHING is just brilliant, but I can't find my SIM card records (contact names). I know that I have contact names (use them with cellphone before), but when I receive a tablet call there is only number, without contact! When I search the contact names in the tablet app, I find only called numbers. Any ideas how to make/receive calls with SIM card contact names?
regards

open Tab Contacts, Menu, Import/Export, Import from SIM card,
Save contact to, select Device ( or Gmail account)

all your Sim card contacts should be added to Tab contacts

Alternatively to Bart's solution:

Open Contacts, go to Settings. Here you can enable/disable what sources of contacts you want to show in the contacts app. It includes an option for SIM-card.

You might prefer to import the SIM-card contacts, because I think you have more types of data fields available in that case.
