I NEED A CAPACITY TO HOLD A LIST OF CONTACTS ABOUT 2000 NAMES. I already HAVE AT LEAST 550 NAMES AND THE CELL PHONE ONLY HOLDS UP TO 500 NAMES. THE CELL PHONE WILL NOT WORK WITH CONTACTS OVER 500.
Welcome to Android Central! It sounds like you're only saving contacts to the SIM card, which is very limited. I strongly recommend saving your contacts to your Google account instead, which syncs with your Google Contacts in the cloud. This will allow you to have thousands of contacts stored without any problems on the phone.
Friendly suggestion--turn CAPS LOCK off. Typing in all caps is regarded as "shouting" on the internet.
