Copying contacts between phones

Copying contacts between phones

Using the Data Transfer function, you can transfer all the content on a handset to any other handset with one click of a mouse. Once connected, just select any information that you would like copied to the other phone and click COPY.


You can also copy data to the clipboard. Choose contacts from another phone, SIM card or Outlook, copy them to the clipboard, choose the target phone and then click Paste. The new contacts are depicted in red.


Another method is convenient for selecting specific items. First, mark the contact by clicking the Mark button, then select Copy To and choose the target device and list.


The fourth way to do this is using a drag&drop. This way you can move contacts to a desired location by dragging them while holding down the left mouse key. Releasing the key drops the contacts into a selected folder.


Be careful when using the Save and Export functions. Depending on the format used, all the data might not be included in the saved file. We recommend the above mentioned methods to be used when copying contacts.
