Transferring contacts
There are several ways to transfer contacts to your new device. You can sync contacts
from an online account or import contacts directly from another device.
If you sync the contacts in your old device with an online account, for example, Google
Sync™ or Microsoft
®
Exchange ActiveSync
®
, you can transfer your contacts to your
new device using that account.
You can also copy contacts to a memory card, use Bluetooth
®
technology, or save
contacts to a SIM card. For more specific information about transferring the contacts
from your old device, refer to the relevant User guide.
