Transferring contacts

[Anonymous]

Can anyone help ?? i have transferred my sim from my S2 to my S4 without saving the contacts to my sim first. Can the labouriuos task of typing in the contacts be saved easier i.e. by downloading them to a PC and then onto the new S4. i have tried looking through windows explorer but i can't find the contacts data ??

Hi and Welcome to the Community Forum.

Do you use GMail as your contacts will be in that.

Phone contacts are also kept in Gmail.

ANY contacts saved on the S2 (phone memory) will be sync'd to Google (assuming you signed in with your Google account on the S2?)
If so, just sign into the same account on your S4 and they will automatically sync back to the new phone.
If not, you can copy them to an SD card in the S2 then transfer the SD card to the S4 and import them or use a transfer tool from Play such as MyPhoneExplorer.
Samsung Kies is another option but it would require you using 2 different versions of the programme to complete the task, so is not the easiest option for you.

You can view / store and edit your Google contacts by following this link https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?tab=wm#contacts

All your items stored in your google account can be simply changed over including contacts, calendar etc. Simply follow the links when signing into google on the new phone.
