How to move contacts using the cloud
If you want to transfer all contacts from Nokia with you, first of all you need to open a profile on Outlook, because it is directly from it that contact data is synchronized on Nokia phones. Outlook is relevant in cases where the device is running Windows phone.
You will need to go to the official Outlook website. There are many sections and features here, among which you need to click on "People". Next, there are a few items, pay attention to Manage - Export for Outlook.com and other services. Here you will need to save the file with contacts, while the extension should be *.csv.
After the above steps, you need to import files to another cloud service. For these purposes, use Google Contacts. We need to open the official website of the system, then click on "More-Import". Here specify where the file is located and wait while it is imported. When the contact data is moved to the cloud service, the system will automatically start synchronizing with the phone (remember: it is important to enable synchronization).
How to transfer contacts using PC Suite
Also a very good program is Nokia PC Suite. It is versatile, easy to use and understandable. Transferring contacts in this way from Nokia to Android is quite easy. It is noteworthy that in this case you can work not only with new mobile devices (smart phones), but also with outdated mobile phones.
So, first of all, you need:
- Downloading the program from any virtual application stores.
- System installation.
- Connecting a phone in Nokia Suite mode.
- Synchronization of contact data.
All files will go to this application. Here you will need to open the menu, find the section "File - Export Contacts" in it and then save the transferred files. After that, you can import contacts to your new phone Android.
How to transfer contacts using MOBILedit
One more great program to transfer contacts from Nokia to Android is called MOBILedit. Its main advantage is that it makes it possible to synchronize files between any mobile devices - both modern and obsolete.
If you want to use this method, follow these recommendations:
- Connect Nokia mobile phone to PC.
- Open MOBILedit - the system itself will find the necessary drivers and connect.
- Save your contact information to your computer device and turn off.
Now you need to connect an Android phone. You need to connect it to a computer. After that, you need to wait until the drivers are installed. After some time, we import contact data.
Unfortunately, this service also has some drawbacks. The biggest one is that you have to pay a fee to use it. However, her positive properties and functional features justify it. After all, you can work with the program with any mobile devices and synchronize any data.
How can I transfer contacts in other ways
To accomplish this task, you can also use third-party applications that allow you to transfer contact information from one phone to another directly or through cloud services. In addition, you can send contacts via:
- email;
- SMS messages;
- Bluetooth.
Send data from Nokia phone and receive them from your Android mobile phone, so you will need to keep both devices nearby.
Now you know how to copy contacts and quickly send them from one device to another. It's not that difficult, you just need to follow these recommendations. The most convenient way to copy is to use cloud services.
Have you just decided to switch to Android? Tired of your old Nokia or just doesn't pull anymore? If on Android you can quickly transfer any information from one device to another, then some difficulties arise here. As a rule, most users need to transfer contacts, because this is the most important information! But even despite the old phone, the transfer is possible in several ways!
Consider the following ways to transfer contacts from Nokia to Android:
The transfer of contact data from both old and new phone models is possible through the PC Nokia Suite program, which is distributed free of charge. The interface is in Russian, so you will not have problems with its work.
And so, the procedure is as follows:
- Download and install the program on your computer. Open it.
- Connect your Nokia to your computer using a USB cable. If the system asks for confirmation and mode selection, then specify PC Suite.
- As soon as the phone is detected (you will see it in the tray), go to the "Contacts" tab in the program and click on the icon "Sync Contacts". The whole copying process can be either instant or take from 1 to 5 minutes.
- All numbers were synchronized. Now we need to export them. To do this, select all the numbers (CTRL + A), and click on the menu item "File" - "Export Contacts", specify the folder where you want to save the data file.
- But that's not all. You need to merge all contacts into one file in order to import it later. To do this, in a separate directory, create text file, which will have the extension txt and open it. Write the following characters in it: copy /B *.* contacts.vcf .
- Ready? Now save the file and rename its format from txt to bat and run. The system will automatically create a file called contacts.vcf , which will store all your contact information.
- Now go to your Gmail mail and there you will find the "Contacts" tab. Open it and on the right side look for the "More" tab - "Import". Click.
- Specify the path to our newly created file, after indicating that we are looking for a file with the cvs extension. Once you do this and confirm, all contacts will be uploaded to Gmail.
- Now log in on your Android with this account, after which the system will automatically sync with Gmail and copy all contact details to your phone! Ready.
Via MOBILedit
One more interesting program, which is updated to this day and supports both old Symbian and Android. The product is paid, but there are many keys for it on the Internet. The interface can be switched to Russian, but in English everything is very clear.
- Download the program to your computer from the official website, find a key for it, activate and connect your Nokia phone.
- In the main menu, select the item "Phone". In the tab "Connection type" specify the USB cable. You can also use Bluetooth if you have a module on your computer.
- Next, in the list, select your phone, which will appear after detection, click on the tab "Phone book" and select "Export" and save the data.
- Now connect the Android phone to which you need to copy the contact details and in the same window select the tab "Import", specify the path to the file and save.
Most Nokia devices have bluetooth module, with which you can transfer contacts to Android. Just keep in mind that transmission is most often possible over one contact, so it can be difficult with large amounts of data.
- To send, activate wireless communication on both devices.
- On your Nokia, go to Contacts and select the number you want to transfer. Attention! On some models, you can transfer all numbers at once, but this is an exception. If there is such an option, then select all at once.
- Next, click the "Features" tab and select "Transfer". Select Bluetooth from the list.
- Find your Android device and confirm the transfer. As a rule, an Android smartphone will automatically accept contact details and complete your phone book.
Via SIM
You can also store and transfer contacts on the SIM card. If you have no more than 250 entries, you can save them to your SIM card, and then copy them to a new phone and copy all the information there.
- On your Nokia, go to "Contacts" and select all the numbers you want to port.
- Next, select the menu item "Move to SIM", and confirm the operation.
- Now remove the SIM card and insert it into your Android phone.
- Go to this smartphone in "Contacts", select all SIM records, select "Export" in the menu or "Move to Phone", and copy the information to your phone.
Most Nokia models have a built-in backup system. And if there is also an SD card in the phone, then there will be no problems at all.
- On your Nokia, go to "Settings" and find there "Backup". Click there.
- Next, click on the "Create a copy" tab, then go to the "Contacts" tab. Confirm the operation, as a result of which a file with contacts in the dat format will be saved on your card.
- You connect this device to your computer, go to the SD card through the explorer and find a file with the format dat in the directory called backup.
- In the browser, log in to your Gmail, go to the tab "Contacts" and select the item there "More", then click on "Import".
- Specify the path to our saved dat file and confirm the operation. Now you just have to log in under this account on your Android, after which the system will automatically add and synchronize new entries to your phone.
Copying to Symbian 9.x
If your Nokia has operating system Symbian 9.x version, it is possible to synchronize contacts directly from the phone. This requires an Internet connection.
Go to the "Settings" of your device and select the item "Synchronization".
We create new profile with any name and save. Here, in the general list, select the application "Contacts". Next, in the field with the name "Base" specify the name - Contacts. Be sure to enable this entry for synchronization.
Now in the settings we write the following data:
- Server Version: 1.2 ;
- ID: Google ;
- Access point - choose depending on the operator;
- Server: - https://m.google.com/syncml ;
- Port - 443;
- Login and password are specified from your mail.
Now we go to the list of created profiles, select the one we just saved and synchronize. The system automatically synchronizes with your mail and saves contact details there. You will only have to log in under the same account in Android and synchronize the information already on the new phone.
Conclusion
In general, the whole process of transferring contacts from Nokia to Android in most cases comes down to the fact that you simply create a copy in cvs format and import it into your account in Gmail. If you have previously created such backups somewhere, you can simply specify them in the mail settings without performing any extra steps.
Surely every owner of a new phone, and a gadget from Nokia in particular, faced the problem of transferring data from an old device to a recently purchased one. There are quite a few different ways to solve this problem, but we will focus on the most popular, proven and more or less simple ones.
Depending on the situation, everyone will choose the method that suits him best:
- through a personal computer;
- using a remote web service;
- through an external drive;
- traditional - using a SIM card.
So, let's take a closer look at how to transfer contacts from Nokia to Nokia in the most painless way, both for the data itself and for the user's nervous system.
Transfer via personal computer
For this option, we need the PC itself, a new gadget and a USB cable (preferably branded). The MOBILedit utility will be used as a software tool in this matter. You can, of course, use proprietary software from Nokia, but many experienced users after a close acquaintance with Nokia PC Suite prefer third party applications, due to numerous errors and shortcomings of the latter.
MOBILedit
Before transferring contacts from Nokia to Nokia, you will need to download this software to your computer. You can find MOBILEDIT on the official website of the developer, then you need to install the program on your PC and run it. There should be no problems with downloading and installing - everything is intuitive and simple.
Before transferring contacts from Nokia to a computer, you need to install the drivers in MOBILEDit. To speed up the process, select your phone model from the drop-down list and agree to the installation.
After the drivers are correctly installed, you need to go to the tab "Phone -> Cable connection". If the program asks for the type of connection, then select PC Sync (synchronization with a PC) and in the next step we connect debugging already on the phone.
Before dropping contacts from Nokia, you need to enable USB debugging on your phone. To do this, go to the settings of the device, then open the "Developer Options" and check the box next to the "USB debugging" item.
Data export
After you need to go to the "Phonebook" tab and select the "Export contacts" item. The utility will ask for the type of file being saved and the location where it will be located. Enter the required data and save the export file.
Further, it is already possible to transfer contacts from Nokia to Android through MOBILEDIT. To do this, you can use a USB cable, Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. In the utility, select the "Import" item, and then import the previously saved file with contacts. Using this software, you can export contacts from Nokia to an iPhone or any other gadget with an iOS platform.
Yandex.Disk application
An interesting and fairly simple option for migrating data using a domestic search engine, namely the Yandex.Disk application. All we need is a personal computer connected to the network.
Before transferring contacts from Nokia to Nokia, you will need to download the Yandex.Moving and Yandex.Disk applications to your phone. You can find it both on Google Play and on the open spaces of the search engine itself (in the mobile version).
But there is one caveat here: we set Yandex.Moving to old phone, and "Yandex.Disk" - to a new gadget.
Step-by-step instruction
Before transferring contacts from Nokia to Nokia, you need to activate your account in search engine, that is, just enter it in order to save data there in the future. The whole process is quite simple, and the implementation of all points should pass without problems.
- We launch the software on the new gadget and log into the account with the same data that was used on the old phone.
- Go to "Menu" -\u003e "Settings" -\u003e "Moving" from phone to phone.
- The utility will ask for the code combination that you received earlier, enter it and confirm the move.
- After the procedure is completed, the program will notify you of successful completion.
Google Drive
Transferring Nokia contacts to a new gadget can be done using a similar imported Google search engine and its proprietary Google Drive application. For this, as in the first case, we need a personal computer connected to the network and special software.
The basic principle of Google Drive is to synchronize the data of your devices. This is quite practical, especially if you want to make some changes to the phone, but it was not at hand.
In order to synchronize contacts, you need to activate your Google Drive account both on your phone and on your PC. On the left side of the screen, select "Gmail" and then click on the "Contacts" tab. Next, you will see the import options that you can customize according to your wishes, and then start the synchronization/import procedure.
It is also worth noting that Google Drive allows you to recover lost data that was erased within the last 30 days.
Transfer contacts without a PC
If there is no way to connect your gadget to a personal computer, then as an alternative option for copying data, you can consider transferring contacts via wireless protocols. The simplest and most proven method is Bluetooth, which is why we will consider it.
In order to migrate contacts from one Nokia to another, you must perform the following steps step by step:
- turn on both your phones;
- activate the Bluetooth protocol on both devices (required: “Visible for other devices”);
- on the old Nokia, go to the Bluetooth menu and find a new gadget;
- confirm synchronization by entering a pin code on both the old and the new device;
- v phone book check all contacts you want to export or select all;
- in the same place in the drop-down menu, select the item “Transfer” -> “Via Bluetooth”;
- upon completion of the procedure, the utility will notify you of successful copying.
SD and SIM cards
These are quite old methods that should only be used as a last resort, because they are fraught with inconvenient restrictions and do not always reflect correctly, especially if the phone models are different, as well as the platforms on which they work.
To transfer contacts using the SD card, follow these steps:
- insert the drive into the old device;
- in the phone book in the drop-down menu, select the item "Save contacts to external media";
- remove the SD card and install it on a new gadget;
- using the "Import" item in the phone book, start the migration of contacts from an external drive.
In the most hopeless situations, you can take advantage of copying data using a SIM card. In order to copy the data, you need to insert the card into your old phone, and then use the drop-down menu in the phone book to export. After, having rearranged the SIM card to a new device, it is necessary to import contacts in the same phone book.
The main inconvenience of this method is the limitation on the number of characters in the subscriber's name (8 characters), that is, before transferring data from one device to another, you will have to reduce all names to the limit or be content with "cuts". In addition, there are restrictions on the number of contacts - no more than two hundred, so after exceeding the limit, you will have to look for the 201st contact and continue the procedure. The method is extremely inconvenient, but if it was not at hand personal computer, the Internet or the light was completely turned off, then this option will do.
Transfer of contacts is carried out only in one direction - from sim card to phone. There is no built-in function for copying contacts from a smartphone to a SIM card. But there is an opportunity to backup phone book.
First, let's find out how to nokia lumii, Microsoft Lumia or other Windows 10 smartphone copy contacts from sim card. You will need this if, for example, you bought new smartphone and you need to import contacts from your old phone.
The procedure is quite simple, first go to the "People" section, then to "Options", scroll down a bit and see "Import from SIM card".
Now select the SIM card from which you want to copy contacts, as well as the save location (Account or Outlook). Click "Import", after which all contacts from the SIM card will be copied to "People" on your device, and also synchronized with your account.
How to transfer contacts to a SIM card in Windows 10 Mobile on Lumiya phones
Let's get back to the main question: how to save contacts to sim card in lumia phone 630, 520, 535, 625, 720 or any other Windows phone smartphone. I searched for a solution for a long time and eventually found the Memiana program in the Windows store. It was installed in the smartphone, but it was not possible to register in it - the error "An error occurred while connecting to the server" constantly popped up.
Others that would allow move contacts I couldn't find a sim card. There are various solutions with which you can backup contacts to the cloud and services. But the web interface provides the same functionality. Windows Live so why install extra programs, especially since many of them are paid.
Still alone useful program v Windows Store there is, it's called contacts+message backup. The application is developed by Microsoft and allows you to backup SMS messages and contacts to a USB flash drive. This is convenient if, for example, there is no access to the network and you cannot restore the phone book from the cloud. The message is saved in XML format, and contacts are in VCF.
Having done backup using this program, you can then insert the USB flash drive into another device and restore the backup from the folder backup+restore.
By the way, there is one thing - the application does not appear in the list of other programs, but becomes an item in the additional settings: "Options" → "Add-ons" (see photo).
Download:
By the way, the entire contact database is synchronized in yours and you can access it on the website or on another device, for example, from a computer on which Windows 8, 10 is installed and in which you are logged in with the same account.
Windows Live is your account control center. Here, in addition to other functions, you can manage all contacts, create them, export and import them.
Now select the contacts you would like to export.
To make an import (restore), click the appropriate button and select desired service or file.
As you can see, the lack of the function of copying contacts from the phone to the SIM card is compensated by a convenient web interface. There you can restore contacts both from a file and from services, including from Google, which is convenient if you transfer the phone book, for example, from a smartphone to Android.
