Samsung Galaxy S5: How to Export Contacts to a SIM Card in Android 4.4.2 Kitkat

Copying contacts list to a SIM card is one of the ways to backup your contacts or to move your contacts to another phone with ease. But, you have to remember that since a SIM card has a limited storage therefore you will probably not be able to copy all of your contacts to a single SIM card. In addition, the SIM card also only lets you to add a single phone number and a single name for a single contact therefore if a contact that you're going to copy to the SIM card has multiple phone numbers or names then only the phone number or the name that have been set as the default preferences that will be copied to the SIM card, and if the contact has another additional information, e.g: email address, address, etc then these information won't be copied to the SIM card.
