As we know, iPhone SIM card only copy to iPhone, but iPhone can't copy it back to the SIM card with the former that is used for iPhone. We can find ways to begin by syncing your iPhone contacts over to Gmail, then move all of your iPhone contacts over to your Google account, which will be synced to your new Android device during it's initial setup.
Here I outline the ways that you can avail to transfer contacts easily and quickly to the new phone. The process of transferring the contacts may vary in accordance to the model and the OS of your handset. As mentioned, from iphone to android phone, or from android phone to iphone.
Transfer contacts from iPhone to Android phone, there is a simple initial load. Login to gmail and export your contacts to contacts.vcf . Then email contacts.vcf to your carrier provided account (for example: name#pm.sprint.com # of @). Then open the attachment on iPhone and allow your iPhone to import all contacts. It's done.
Another, if you want to move other contents like music, video or ebooks from your previous mobile phone like iPhone to the brand new Blackberry or android phone, iPad/iPhone/iPod to Computer Transfer (local at asoftmall ) can help you back up songs, videos, photos, playlists, podcasts, Folder Rule and more to any folder on your computer desktop directly with auto-scans your iPod, iPad or iPhone device when running. The details will then get transferred to your new phones from your computer. Besides, you can manage ipod/ipad/iphone contents together if you want.
For users of Windows Mobile, such as Samsung or HTC, Microsoft's Device Center or ActiveSync applications can be used to copy the contacts to your computer through Outlook. For transfer of contacts from a Windows Phone to another, it can be easily done with help of Microsoft's My Phone serviceNewest said, the service may be shut down and it's really a pity if it really shut down.
Use Mobical, an online service that is available free and is also compatible with mobile phones like Nokia, Motorola, Sony Ericsson etc. All you need to do is setup the application in your old phone and create a backup of contacts in the cloud. Then again setup Mobical in your new handset and enjoy automatic download of all the contacts from the old to the new one.
If your mobile phone is internet enabled, then you can transfer mobile Phone Contacts via app online and it becomes much easier. You can transfer your contacts freely and will not even require the help of a computer, but have not for iphone yet.

Hi all. I have an Artemis. I want to copy my phone contacts from Nokia E50 to it. I tried from nokia to send all contacts at once via bluetooth, but nothing. If i send contacts one by one, it works. The problem is that i have 600 contacts and probably i'll get old moving them one by one. Is there an automatic procedure?
There is no way to send all contacts between these models via Bluetooth. Problem lies in VCF (virtual card file) format. I'm not very familiar with all standards but VCF consists of all details of only one contact. Function "Send all contacts" puts all separate contacts into one file and sends it. It is not the same as sending each contact separately. As far as I know only SonyEricsson models support multiple contacts in one file (it didn't work with Nokia 9300). The way I used many times is to synchronise two phones via Outlook.
Install http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nokia_PC_Suite then either use bluetooth or a usb cable to sync your nokia contacts from you phone to outlook. Then use http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Activesync to sync outlook to your htc. Be careful with the order, or you will delete all your contacts. (something else, I found my "General" type numbers vanished, so change them on the nokia to "Work" numbers)
Its Easy Syncronise It With Ur Computer Using Outlook And Than Syncronise Ur Nokia With Ur Pc U Can Copy Contact From Out Look To Any Device Nokia Sony Ericcson Or Xda Mda Pdas Thats Why They Hav An Option Of Syncronising U Can Do Using Bluetooth All Of My Mobiles R Uptodate As Soon As I Enter My Room They Syncronisewith My Pc And Update The Contacts N Calender
copy contacts from your old phone to your new phone
Hi,
I had a similar problem, how do I copy my contacts from my old Sony Ericsson T610 to my Nokia ?
I did not have a sync cable for my Sony Ericsson T610, I tried to send the contacts from my T610 to the Nokia via Bluetooth and IR and was able to only send individual contacts. The "send all" option on the T610 failed miserably and wasted my time (both over Bluetooth and IR)
I got fed up. Finally I figured out a way to do it with zyb , its a nifty website with SyncML (there are others as well but this worked for me)
(the Artemis is supported by zyb so that should work as well)
http://www.unwiredconnect.com/gprssyncml.htm
Steps I used
***************
Synchronize your contacts from the old phone ( Sony Ericsson T610 ) to zyb.com
( You will need a WAP profile from your operator to do the Sync , so keep that handy, Or you can do it over the WLAN if your phone has WLAN, I had to use a WAP profile for the T610)
then change the SIM card to the new Nokia phone ( Nokia E61i)
then add a new phone in zyb.com (i.e. Add the Nokia E61i)
Synchronize on the Nokia E61i ( you will need the WAP profile again from your service provider or WLAN again)
Now all your contacts have been transferred from your T610 to your Nokia.
Viola !
I also deleted my zyb account after the contacts were copied to my E61i , paranoid I guess. You could continue with zyb for their core service (contacts backup and restore), but zyb is mutating to yet another facebook and thats not a good sign.
I had a full addressbook on my T610 (510 contacts) so it took some time.
Note: It will not copy the pictures attached to the contacts and complain that the sync failed. Ignore the failure and go to zyb to check if all contacts are there. It will copy the additional fields in a contact though.
Additional Note: You will have to use the merge feature on zyb if you copy more than once but thats a simple step.
Congratulations on your new phone
Data charges will apply when you use the WAP profile but I think I spent 3 NOK or 50 us cents or 40 pence or 60 euro cents and that was money well spent (this was the first and only time I actually paid for data traffic to an operator)
Note to the cheapos (like me): You can use zyb or any syncml service over WLAN on the Nokia E61i, so you need to use the data plan only for the upload from the T610 to zyb. You should be able to use WLAN over the Artemis as well but you need to check.
Good luck !
NOkia to windows mobile 6
right - I wasted a whole day on this, so don't want others doing the same. Outlook didn't work for me, so I had to find a workaround.
First, download net qin mobile guard onto your nokia phone.
Use that software(M guard), and click on back-up. Back up to your SD card.
THen..... take the .vcf file, and import it into google contacts (you'll have to set up a google account for this)
Then read the stuff online about how to sync your windows mobile with google.
et voila!
I'm strongly leaning towards Android and the Hero specifically to replace my WM phone. I rely heavily on syncing contacts, calendar, tasks and documents. Active Sync works fine on WM, however I've pretty much sorted that by switching to google mail, I can sync my contacts and calendar. I've read tons of posts on this, but can't seem to find specifically about documents.
For example, if I modify an Excel file on my PC, it then syncs with my WM phone, and I always have an updated document on phone & pc.
Is this possible with the Hero?
Also, what about task syncing? I understand that google tasks don't sync, is there another way?
As far as I can tell there is nothing avaliable that is anything like the Windows Mobile Office Suite.
However.
I installed "GDocs" from the market place which gives me access to all of my Google documents. You can View Excel type files but you can edit Word type files. You can even create Word type documents straight from your phone.
I've been using it on & off since I got the phone & the app is pretty solid
Thanks, I guess I'll try out Google docs. I definitely like the idea of cloud based rather than Active Sync from PC to phone to laptop. Active Sync has been very flakey lately, losing connection, I've lost data a bunch of times and I'm just sick of WM and AS.
As a high-tech fan, I bought the newest model of iPhone. So I have to transfer the contact of the old iPhone into computer files , then pick some of them to add to the new one.But I was truly confused how to transfer its contact into computer files. Luckily, I found it -----Tansee iPhone Transfer Contact.
With it, I can transfer the backup iPhone memory to a file, only exporting two types of file format((Antc file, Text file), which is intelligible especially to girls. What’s more, the Antc file can even be encoded to ensure its security! All the files including the backup contact’s photos can be viewed full screen! How amazing! It’s really useful for iPhone users like you and me!

Why not use iTunes or iCloud?
Your cydia installed stuff won't be backed up, you need to download either aptbackup or xbackup. These apps will backup cydia tweaks. After installed, you have to run the program the program and backup your cydia stuff. Then, if you have to restore your phone and want to re-jailbreak it, you install this program again after you jb it and restore it and it will re-install your jb tweaks. Cracked apps are a whole different story.
Back up iPhone Contacts
It seems like that FonePaw iOS Transfer is one of the most useful way to back up your iPhone Contacts. You can give it a try.
By saving your contacts to the computer, you can get them back if you accidentally delete them. Feel free to use it to back up iPhone contacts. Besides, music, playlist, photos, videos, messages, etc are all transfer between iPhone and computer freely with the help of this software.
The screen on my Samsung Focus no longer works however the rest of the phone works as I am able to place calls using the bluetooth in my car. However I have since picked up an HTC One X but I am at a loss on how to get to my contacts. I do not see any of my contacts on the windows live ID I used to set up the phone nothing seems to have backed up anywhere but they are on my phone somewhere since I can place a call using name recognition in my car.
so I guess I have 2 questions.
Is there something i'm missing within the Zune software to backup the entire phone like Itunes has?
Is there a way I can access the internal storage via my computer to fish out the contacts in my phonebook?
If anyone is able to help you'd lower my blood pressure and prolong my life. Thank You.
do you have a "sim card" if so all your contacts are in it!
Had 2 different places read the sim card. They said there's nothing on it. It's the first thing I tried.
Contacts are on the phone, unless you've specified you want them back-up'd somewhere else, online. I usually use either Outlook account or Gmail to sync my contacts. The contacts on the SIM are retrieved TO the phone, not saved TO the SIM (Settings, People, Import SIM contacts).
One way I see you could backup your contacts this is to get these 2 files from the phone:
"store.vol" and "PimIndex.vol"
These contain the SMS and the contacts.
For that, mandatory reads: this thread and this thread
You could explore the phone with Touch Explorer, but depends on too many things if it will work...
Another idea is to do it "blindly" with 2 phones: yours and another Focus side-by-side and trying to copy exactly where to tap...
There might be an app on Marketplace that backups automatically on skydrive. But you'd have to search for such.
Good luck mate.
Not very good with the windows phone and am trying to help an older friend out that had a Nokia 710. He just purchased a HTC 8X and T-Mobile couldn't help him transfer his numbers and all. He had no idea about a windows live ID.
Sure, I could set him up a Windows LIve ID, but is there a way that we can bypass all of that and just plug his Nokia 710 into the computer and back it up, plug the 8X into the computer and upload all the information on it?
Thanks.
Reposting from the original thread:
On my nokia 710 one of the preinstalled apps is Contacts Transfer, I dont know if thats a microsoft thing, or if its nokia exclusive or if nokia have made it available on the app store (which they may have) but all it requires is both phones to have bluetooth on, then you set the old one to discoverable, follow the instructions. It seems to work pretty well with my ancient android handset.
I personally have all my contacts stored on my google account instead now, syncs more readily with more devices than the windows live account does.
There is no way to do a complete backup of WP7 except for a device image (which can only be restored on the exact same device it was taken from; even another one of identical model won't work). There are various homebrew apps that will let you get your files off, but currently we have no way to get them back *on* to WP8.
For contacts, synching to an Exchange server, Live account, Google account, or similar is definitely the best way. You can also try doing a transfer using BT, though. Nokia's Contacts Transfer app (which is just a Nokia-specific app, for all that it's pre-installed to the Setting hub) should work, but if you want to transfer the contacts en masse you may need a similar app on the other end. I don't know if HTC has one (Nokia and Samsung do, but my HTC HD7 did not). If you know how to use an intercepting proxy, you can access the Nokia- or Samsung-specific app stores and download their apps; that might (or might not, depending on how they are written) work.

He just primarily wants his email and phone numbers. His email is a @cox address though. Will the Windows Live backup let you do that? If so, I will just set him up a windows live id.
Yes, you can register any email address as a Microsoft (Windows Live) account, and synch contacts to and from it. You can do that even if you have the same email account also used as a "normal" (POP3/IMAP/SMTP) account. I'm very surprised he doesn't have one already; using WP without such an account is very limited (app store, Find My Phone, contacts and calendars, integrated IM, etc.).
