Tips and Tricks - Contacts Backup

A friend of mine says I know a lot about electronics and how to simplify some of the common stuff we do. So I should blog about it.

So Im thinking about doing it.

Tip1: How to move your contacts from one phone to another phone

You can transfer all your contacts to the simcard and then insert it in the new phone and copy them to the phone directory OR you can keep all your contacts on the SIM all the time.

Better to do both.

Look in your contact options or in the setting for a SIM contacts menu. Within that there will be a COPY ALL TO SIM and a COPY ALL FROM SIM option. Use these to transfer the contacts to the SIM and back out. Remember different phones have slightly different menus and locations for this option.

Procedure:

COPY ALL TO SIM >> Put SIM in new phone >> COPY ALL FROM SIM

Limitations:

1. Names come to only 10 characters

2. One number associated with each name

3. Other information is not copied

Good luck and Godspeed
