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.

Bluetooth®.
