OT? Where is "address book" in my cell phone?

I had assumed that the "address book" data for my cell phone was
actually in my cell phone, in the SIMM card or some other memory area.

But when I turn on the phone and go straight to address book, it often
says to wait. Then the light goes off and I push some button and it
still says to wait, and again. If it takes so long to get it, does
that mean it's at the wireless offices? It seems to take a while
sometimes even when I have 4 or 5 bars signal strength. OTOH,
sometimes it's there immediately, I think.

I have a Motorola phone on, I think, the Cingulary/AT&T network. I
would think it's the same for all phones and all networks, right?

Thanks


It says wait when loading data from the sim card. Data transfer from sim is
slow.

My phone (LG flip phone) seems to have two phonebooks, one in the sim
card and one somewhere else. I found this out when I was told to "copy
the phone book to the sim card" before sending in the phone (minus sim
card and battery) for warranty replacement.

Under "Copy all Contacts" in the Address Book menu, there are two
options: "SmartChip to Handset" and "Handset to Smart Chip."

When I turn the phone off and then on again, the address book is
available as soon as the phone boots.
