I currently have a smart phone, Samsung Galaxy Ace, which has all my work contacts, about 500, saved to the sim and micro SD. As these contacts contain email, phone # and address, I would like to transfer them to my PC as I am about to change jobs and I REALLY want to keep these contacts. my phone is on android 2.6.3 (or 2.3.6, cannot remember, but immaterial for this purpose). I have downloaded the relevant kies programme, but that only allows me to save the name and phone #, not the email or street address.
Whilst I could transfer each by sending myself a 'business card' of each contact, that is quite laborious, so am looking for one of the genii on this forum to hopefully have a great idea and see if you can help, please.
thanks, Bill.
Don't know how modern your PC is, but my laptop has an SD slot so I can just put the SD card in, open the file and copy data to wherever I want it :hmmm:
Even the old towers at work used to have that facility.
A USB card reader is very cheap
Ebay is your friend!
Thanks guys. With the SD card you can save the file to folder, but not actually back to the Outlook programme on the PC, so I would still have to go through and manually upload each address.
re the card reader, not sure how that would help as I already have all the details on my smart phone and I am trying to transfer them to Outlook on my PC. Being thick here, so can you please explain?
thanks, Bill.
A google found this

When you click on export to sd, make sure all your contacts are visible. Check the settings and make sure none of the sim or phone or groups are unchecked, that way all of the contacts will be exported to the vcf file.

Thanks. I have been through quite a few of these Q&A type forums, spoken with Samsung (what a waste of 30 minutes that was) and googled for answers etc. However, all the answers so far only save the contacts to a folder, not to Outlook.
anyway, thanks again, I guess I will end up doing it manually.
cheers, Bill.
It is a while since I did this, but don't you import them into Outlook?
Yes, Outlook has an import feature including comma delineated files, in Outlook, select "File" then "import and export" comes up with a whole range of options.
