How can I copy all my contacts from my Galaxy S GT-I9000 to my GT-P7500? I need both my phone and SIM contacts.
Thanx.
What I did on my galaxy 3, but should work on all Samsung phones is: on contacts go to options then export to sd. A folder named external_sd will be created on the sd containing your contacts as 00001.vcf file. Copy them to your PC, then the tab, or sent them with bluetooth directly to the tab. Then on the tab go to contacts>options and finally import from sd. Find your file and click ok.
Hope I helped. I'm actually getting the tab on Wednesday and not 100% sure if it works that way.

Thanx. Actually I forgot that I was able to import directly from the sim card so I took the sim from my SGS, loaded it into my tab and then simply imported from the sim to my tab.
PS. I love Pink Floyd too!
If you sync your contacts with google they should just be there when you sign in to your google account. Just like apps.

Hello!
I just bought a vibrant (bell) loaded with android 2.2 from a friend of mine, using it with rogers, I used to have a SE x10a. I made a mistake and didnt backup my contacts to my SIM, but I have a recent backup on the SDcard when it was in my x10. I was wondering if there's a way to import those contacts from the SDcard, onto my vibrant.
Is there a way?
Thanks.
You have a Vibrant with 2.2?
There are a number of ways to do it.
If you've got all your contacts on the SD card, yeah, just import on your new phone.
I recently migrated from a Blackberry and the way I did it was to export my Blackberry contacts to Gmail and then sync Gmail contacts on my new Vibrant. You should have it even easier because you can just sync on your Xperia, switch out sim to Vibrant and sync contacts there. If you've got all your contacts on the SD card, yeah, just import on your new phone.
D'oh, double post!

help me guys, i import my contacts from my sim but when i got to phonebook>contact, it says, no contact. cannot read sim.
can you help me guys. please.
thanks.
I know if you export your contacts to the SIM from a Samsung phone another phone may not be able to import them, are you copying the contacts from a Samsung phone?
You could connect the phones via Bluetooth & transfer them that way.
Have you got problem in xperia or samsung?
Did you do any back up
In xperia you can back up you contact in you memory card!!! in contact press content menu andand then " back up contact" and then save " memory card"
those contact are save as a vCard
Had a similar problem where I could not import my sin contacts I think its a bug within sonyEricsson Rom .
Solution
I flashed my phone with asop 2.1 or 2.2.1 Rom sorry can't remember think it was 2.2.1 then exported contacts to sd relished to se Rom and imported . . .
Hope that helps

Just click three people icon at the top left of your phone book and you will see in 2.1 we're not only have one phone book but multiple phone book, and it will be more as you using other service like facebook , twitter, yahoo messenger, etc. you should be able to found your contacts by enabling other phone book.

Hi all,
My father recently bought a Samsung Galaxy s II from At&T and is in the process of transitioning between jobs. He's had a Blackberry work phone since 2000 so he is looking to transfer all the contacts. The only problem is the firm wiped the Blackberry before they gave it to him. He has all of his outlook contacts, which is the bulk of what he needed anyway, saved in a zip file (Well he says its a zip file I havent seen it yet to confirm) attached to an email he sent himself. So my first question is: is there an easy way to transfer the zip of contacts to his phone and have them show up in his contacts list? If not or if its not actually a zip file, could we in theory transfer the contacts to a spreadsheet and then get that on the phone? Any help would be great, thanks guys

Probably easiest to import them to Google Contacts on a computer, then sync to the phone.
You're in the wrong forum btw, you'd want

So after 2 years on the HTC Aria, two phones are swapped (not literally since still have the Aria's) for Samsung Galaxy S3.
One of the HTC Aria's uses Gmail to save/sync contacts so it will automatically update phone contacts, the other has always stored phones/names in the phone itself.
Both Aria's are rooted.
What's the simplest way to save the phone contacts and bring them into the Samsung ? Since there is no SIM card on the new Android device, can't use a SIM card to transfer over. Export to a .vcf file on the SDCard does work but can the Samsung import contacts from there ?
Any suggestions ?
Will answer this myself in case it helps someone else.
I installed Android Sync Manager from marketplace, setup WiFi on home router, downloaded to laptop the PC app and contacts were transferred over as comma delimited file which I can import to Samsung device.

Importing the .vcf file should work. It's a basic standard, not something "aria-specific" or even "android-specific"
.vcf file is standard. It would work on any phones running Android OS.

Aosp based Rom / contact app doesn't support using SIM contacts as default contact. You can only export SIM contacts to phone.
Samsung has 100% advantage over Google when it comes to contact management
Swyped from my Samsung Galaxy SII
Ok, I Import my contacts from sim to phone.
Now I must select option "Gmail Acc" to see only my sim contacts, without skype, viber contacts ?

Probably a bit long winded but you could make a backup, flash a stock rom, save ur sim contacts to ur sd card then restore ur backup and import them. I eventually realised there's no point in using ur sim card, I've just got all my contacts on Google now and use it by default, it syncs automatically so if u ever lost ur phone u could get ur contacts back on a new one easily
