Smart Platinum 7 issues with saving contacts

[em39]

Although I'm generally happy with this phone, one issue that's driving me mad is it won't save new contacts!

I go to contacts, + contact, put in the name and no., it saves it, then sometimes minutes after, sometimes hours, occasionally days, and the contact has gone..

Where I've text or phoned someone, and originally the name came up, it randomly reverts to just the no.

I've tried adding the new contact to my Outlook account, but this doesn't appear to make any difference, and I shouldn't have to do that anyway, I'm now having to save new contacts to a notes section..

Sounds like it could be a syncing issue with one re-writing the other. Is there any option to save directly to the SIM itself?

It's a tricky one to diagnose without playing around with the phone menu settings. It might be worth taking it to a Vodafone store to have them check it out.

I went to the Vodafone store, again.. the 1st time the girl wasn't interested and no help, this time the chap was very helpful and thought it might be because my contacts were syncing with my hotmail account, not my gmail account.

I've now saved a couple, syncing with gmail, and they're still there so I'm hoping this was the fix!
