Solved: Re: Backing up my contacts telephone numbers eg if...

Anonymous · ‎18-01-2014

..... like the information on my laptop is automatically backed up every week.

This has only come to light during the week I have become a member of the O2 Community Forum, as mentioned by one of your experienced helpers.

In my mind at present I have my laptop, which I luv for documents/emails/on-line shopping/soon to be downloding e books onto very new to me basic Kindle.

Do I have to do it the traditional paper/pen way ie by having an address book purely for my mobile phone contact/s numbers ..... which even with my tradional administrative background seems a bit tedious in the 21st Century .....

You're welcome, but if you want to transfer your contacts from your Nokia you will need to follow the advice MI5 has given on the previous page. If you feel you're not able to do that you could always copy your contacts manually into your Gmail account. Tedious, I know, but at least you would have them there ready for your new phone.

Hi,

I use icloud and iTunes to back up my data.

Android users etc can use GMail or a PC suite.

You can set up a Gmail account now and back up all your contacts there. Then whenever you get your new phone, whichever one it is, you can sync it with your Gmail. If you opt for an Android phone you'll have to have a Gmail account, so you'll be ahead of the game if you do it now.

You need Nokia PC suite to back up your current phone http://www.nokia.com/global/support/nokia-pc-suite/
When you get a new phone we'll deal with that one when we know what you have.

Yes you can but it's not straightforward.
I wrote a guide how to do it a while back....
