Conclusion
Use Google synchronization to easily and quickly copy numbers and other data. If you don’t have a Google account, then it’s best to use the transfer using “Import/Export”. And manual copying is suitable for selectively sending some numbers.
In addition, the Google Play application store contains programs for transferring phone book numbers. As a rule, such utilities work on the “Import/Export” principle, which is described in detail above. However, some functions are not available, so you need to purchase the full version of the application.
In case you need to transfer phone numbers from a damaged Android device, read the article: “”.
Sooner or later, the user of any phone may need to export contacts from his phone book. And if you have such a situation and you are the owner of an Android smartphone, then this process will be much easier. The open system allows third-party programs downloaded from the PlayMarket store to use contacts for various purposes, including import/export. Such applications can also not only store data, but also transfer it to a computer and subsequently edit it.
Of course, there is synchronization of contacts with Google, but this option may not be suitable for some. Therefore, in this article we will look at what ways you can save your contacts and how to avoid or solve related problems.
First way
And so, everything couldn’t be simpler here.
We take a smartphone and go to the computer. Here we don’t need anything else except a cord (USB). Now go to contacts on your phone and select “import/export”
- Import from storage - delivery of phone contacts from an SD card or any other storage device by transferring them from storage.
- Export to drive - creates a file with the vcf extension. The most interesting thing is that it can be stored anywhere and even transferred for use by another mobile gadget.
- Transfer visible contacts - this method is useful if you need to transfer not the entire phone book for storage. For example, you have set up contact filtering. In this case, the system will not save the vcf file in the device, but after creating it, it will send it to the selected email (you can even send it to the one that sends it). After this point, you can download it to your computer or other device.
Having received such a file, you can edit it in any program that works with this kind of information, for example:
- Windows Contacts
- Microsoft Outlook
But unfortunately, in Windows these programs do not work correctly with contacts written in Russian.
There is a way to solve this problem, but more on that later. Data written in Cyrillic are displayed as hieroglyphs. Apple's Macintosh does not have this problem and the entire workbook is imported into a standard workbook on the computer. Fixing an issue with encoding of Android contacts in vcf file when importing into Outlook and Windows Contacts
The same conflict file is called vCard. It, in the form of a text file, contains data written in a special way. This data is encoded in UTF-8 format, and Windows programs that work with such files begin to read it as 1251 format encoding, which is what causes this kind of problem.
Now let's look at how this problem can be solved:
- You can just find a program that will work with the UTF-8 format
- Use special tags in the vсf file. This will allow Outlook to correctly determine the code type.
- You can also save the vcf file itself with a code format suitable for Windows.
Since the simplest and fastest method is the third, we will describe it in detail:
1. First, go to the official website sublimetext.com and download the Sublime Text program from there. There is also a version on the site that does not need to be installed. One way or another, once in the program, we load our vcf file there. 2. From the menu, select File - Save With Encoding - Cyrillic (Windows 1251).
That's all. Now you can open the file in programs that work with phone books - most of them should display all the information correctly.
Saving contacts to your computer using Google
Even if this is not necessary, it will still be useful to synchronize your contacts on your Android smartphone through the Google service. You can manage them using the website contacts.google.com
On the page, under the search bar (almost in the middle), find and click on the “more” item and after “export...”. In the menu on the left, click “More” - “Export”.
After this, a window will open in which you will need to specify the following: when selecting contacts for export, select the “group - my contacts” item; the number of contacts available for synchronization will be written next to it; When choosing a file format, select the one that is more suitable for your scv system - for Outlook (Windows) and vCard for Apple Macintosh. Problems that may arise during the process are described earlier in this same article.
By selecting the “my contacts” tab, you will export your phone book contacts. The difference from the “all contacts” item is that in this case all contacts are copied, and not only from the phone book. Whether it is advisable to choose this is up to the user, but it is worth remembering that this may result in a lot of unnecessary information that you do not need.
Having done all this, click the “export” button and save the data to your computer.
Using Third Party Programs to Export Android Contacts
By going to PlayMarket and searching there, you can find a large number of programs for saving contacts to cloud storage. Since there are really a lot of them and they perform the same functions as standard programs, we will not describe them. We only note that it is important to remain careful so that the contents do not fall into the hands of ill-wishers.
For computer systems, many companies produce software for individual work with the contacts of a specific device. You can find out which one is suitable for your device using an Internet search.

What is this program
The Phone Clone program is software that allows you to transfer data from one device to another without manually transferring information using a computer and USB. For the application to work, you will need Wi-Fi and a second gadget .
Phone Clone works on all Android and iOS devices. For Huawei and Honor devices, the application is pre-installed and cannot be removed using built-in methods, but with the help of our instructions this process will take 5 minutes. To transfer information to a new device, you will need to download the program from Google Play or the App Store. Detailed instructions on how to transfer data using Phone Clone are below.
Transferring SMS and MMS messages
Transferring text messages is usually the most difficult and fickle process. The best transfer option is the SMS Backup & Restore app. It downloads messages to a microSD memory card if your smartphone has one. Another way is to transfer them to your computer and then use the application to restore them on a new smartphone by connecting it to your computer. Testing showed that the program copes with its work and all messages were transferred. However, other users with a large number of messages may experience different results.
It is best to stop using SMS and MMS services altogether and switch to third-party instant messengers. For example, with Facebook Messenger, all you have to do is log into your account and all your messages will be at your fingertips. The same can be said about WhatsApp, Viber and others.
You should not erase data on your old smartphone until you have set up a new one. Thus, all data will always be at your fingertips.
Backup as a transfer method
To begin, make sure that on your Andro > Settings and go to the Backup & Reset section (this section may have different names on different models).
Make sure that the “Data backup” and “Auto recovery” settings are turned on, and that the smartphone is associated with a Google account.
These settings ensure that application data, Wi-Fi passwords and smartphone settings are transferred to Google servers. They will be available to you when you log into your account on your new smartphone. Thanks to this, you will not have to re-enter network passwords that you have already saved. Of course, Google will know all your Wi-Fi passwords, but this is unlikely to scare anyone very much.
If you have a Samsung device, you can use the Data Backup option in your Samsung account. Text messages, phone logs, contacts, email accounts that you used in Samsung applications will be saved here. You can make choices: for example, choose a Google account to sync contacts, mail and photos, but at the same time save text and call records to your Samsung account, since Google does not have this option.
