Tips: How to show/hide SIM contacts?

I've blogged about this sometime ago and posted about modifying a registry to achieve that. There is a much easier way to do that. Especially if one is not comfortable with editing the registry. By the way this is not recommended.
To Show/hide the SIM contacts, go to Start - Settings - Phone - Call Options. Check/uncheck Show SIM contacts and click Done. Easy.

This does not work on an ATT Tilt, any suggestions?

This tip applies to Smartphone or non-touch screen devices. Should have mentioned that. You will need a registry editor to achieve the same result on the Pocket PC. Modify the following key:

Go to Hkey_Current_user\Control Panel\Phone\ShowSim. Set the value to 0 to disable, 1 to enable.
