Ways to Transfer Contacts to iPhone
Many iPhone users immediately after purchasing it face one small problem: is it possible to transfer all their contacts from their old phone to a new one? Of course. And there are several ways to do this.
The first option is to write all contacts to the SIM card of the old phone and then install it into the new iPhone. After that, you can use the phone menu to transfer contacts from the SIM card to the device. However, with the advent of Mirko-sim and nano-sim, this can be a little problematic.
The second way is to use OutlookExpress to save contacts from your old phone. And then using iTunes to sync the iPhone with Outlook Express notebook.
But perhaps the most convenient way is to use the Google Address Book.
Transferring contacts to iPhone via Google mail
So, first you need to create an archive of records of all contacts in CSV format using the programs of your old phone. For Nokia phones, this is Nokia PC Suite, for Sony - MyPhone Explorer, etc. Then you need to export contacts from Microsoft Outlook or Outlook Express (depending on where they are stored). After the CSV file is created, you need to go to your Gmail mail (or create it if you don't already have one).
On the left is the Gmail button, you need to open it and select "Contacts", then click "Advanced" and "Import". In the window that appears, you need to indicate where the CSV file that was recently created is located. After downloading the file, Gmail will show the number of imported contacts.
Now all that remains is to transfer contacts from Google to iPhone using iTunes. First you need to connect your device to your computer and launch iTunes. After that, in the left menu, on the "Devices" tab, you need to select your iPhone. Then select the "Information" tab in the top menu, check the "Synchronize contacts" item, and select "Google Contacts" in the drop-down menu. After that, you need to click the "Configuration" button and specify the data from your gmail account. We apply the settings, and the contacts are copied to your iPhone.
After transferring all contacts to your iPhone, you can configure another interesting option. It allows you to automatically sync any changes in your phone's notebook with the contact list of your Gmail account. So, if someone's number was accidentally deleted from the phone, then you can restore it through Google.
To do this, go to the phone settings, select "Mail, addresses, calendars" in the menu and then in the line "Standard account. zap. " select "Google". That's all - after these steps, any changes made on the iPhone will almost instantly be shown in the Google notebook. And vice versa.
