transfering contacts

[spine]

ok, now that most of us will have their phones tomorrow , I'm wondering whats the best and easiest way to get all my contacts from my android to the new Iphone.

I'm not sure, but either their will be instructions inside the box or if you're like me.. I'll just wait till Saturday and go to Verizon and do it there. Best of luck

The though of walking into verizon the day after release haunts me ,lol. I'll try my self, if not I'll wait till everyone goes back to work on monday

easiest way is to have a gmail account.

what kinda phone do you have? you can use verizons backup assistant or sync your phone with gmail to back up your contacts you should have it for free.. they have more information on how to do it on the FAQS page

If i had my choice I'd go with back up assistant,  i didnt think apple products utilized back assis.

[heyitsmejosh]

they do, well at least they did with iphone 4 when i first got it.. that how i did my with my black berry. it should be in the appstore.

here spine this should tell you.. i doubt the iphone 5 will be different

You will need to download the vz contact transfer app and do it that way. You can't just sync the contact via the backup assist site.

[heyitsmejosh]

yeah you need to do it with the app but if you already have backup assit it will work

sounds good , and thanks again.

If you are using outlook as you email program on you PC and all your contact are in there it will sync though iTunes.
