Other methods for transferring contacts

Depending on the capabilities of your old device, you can use a memory card or
Bluetooth

®

technology to move contacts directly to your new device. It is not

recommended to use a SIM card to move contacts between devices. Your SIM card

may not have enough space to save all contacts, and some SIM cards can only save

one phone number for each contact.
Refer to the User guide of your old device for information about how to copy contacts to

a memory card, save contacts to a SIM card or initiate a transfer of contacts using
Bluetooth

®

.
