How can I add phonebook entry to sim card using Arduino GSM shield?

Question

I am using Arduino GSM Module and Arduino UNO

enter image description here

I want my GSM module to be stand alone once I programmed it. It will store the phone number of the user if he sends a correct passcode. Since I want the data to available even after I power off my module. I need to store it to my sim. I don't want to use an SD card shield or store data to arduino's EEPROM.

I have read Getting the contacts/ storing contacts to SIM card. The only clear reply is reading from the SIM.

Is it possible to add phonebook entry to SIM card? Do you know a tutorial?

Hope this helps.

Go check out (http://m2msupport.net/m2msupport/sim-phonebook-at-commands/) I use these commands on my AI Tinker A7 board for the Arduino.... 95% work perfectly...

ps. I made these numbers up but the formats are all correct.

//----------------------------------------------------------
//---Add Entry To PhoneBook:
//----------------------------------------------------------
AT+CPBW=1, "[phone]",145, "Paul" //-- add entry x1
OK
//----------------------------------------------------------
//--DELETE phonebook entry:
//----------------------------------------------------------
AT+CPBW=1 //-- delete entry x1
OK
//----------------------------------------------------------
//-- AT+CPBW=[<index>],<number> [ ,<type> [,<text>]]
//----------------------------------------------------------
//
//<index> = Entry Number in SIM Memory
//<number> = "The Phone number"
//<type> = "The Phone Number" (TYPE ) ie. 129,161,145,177.. 
 // 129 – National number type
 // 161 – National number type
 // 145 – INternational number type
 // 177 – Network specific number
//<text> = "Person Name" etc.
//----------------------------------------------------------
// Add 4x new entries to the SIM card
//----------------------------------------------------------
AT+CPBW=1, "[phone]",145, "Pops"
AT+CPBW=2, "[phone]",145, "Mum"
AT+CPBW=3, "[phone]",145, "Wendy"
AT+CPBW=4, "[phone]",145, "Mr Smith" 
//NOTE: In Australia (above examples) the actual phone numbers
// above are of these types
//
// Int.Format Aust. Dial Internal Phone_Type
// ----------------------------------------------------------- 
// [phone] (0416) 199 234 Mobile/Cell
// [phone] (0420) 921 234 Mobile/Cell
// [phone] (03) 5682 1234 Landline/PSTN
