Method 4. How to Transfer Contacts from Android to Android Manually via SIM Card
SIM card is also a good way to transfer contacts actually. Since the SIM card is removable, you can save the contacts in the card and then plug it into the phone you plan to use to easily transfer contacts from Android to Android.
Here's how:
- On your source Android device, please open the 'Contacts' app.
- Tap on 'Settings'/the tree-line menu.
- Tap on 'Manage contacts'.
- Choose the 'Import/Export contacts' option.
- Click 'Export contacts'.
- Select to export to a SIM card.
- Take off the SIM card and insert it to your new Android phone.
- On the target Android device, navigate to find out the 'Import/Export contacts' option.
- Select 'Import from SIM Card'.
In this process, you need to take off the SIM card from an Android device and insert it into another one. Compared with other means, this method would be more convenient. However, it has the risk to permanently lose all of the contacts and other files on your SIM card if it suffers physical damage. So it is a good idea to backup your contacts before the job.
Method 5. How to Transfer Contacts from Android to Android using Bluetooth
When you import or export contacts to SIM card, have you noticed that there is an option Share namecard via in the Import/Export contacts window? This is an available way to sync the contacts actually. This inbuilt feature allows you to migrate the contacts from Android to Android via Bluetooth, email, Gmail, messaging and Wi-Fi Direct.
Here are the steps to move all the contacts from Android to Android with Bluetooth:
- Turn on 'Bluetooth' on both Android phones.
- On your old Android phone, go to 'Contacts' app.
- Open the menu and choose the option 'Import/Export'.
- Go with the on-screen prompts to tap on 'Share namecard via'.
- Click the 'Select all'.
