Surely every owner of a new phone, and a gadget from Nokia in particular, was faced with the problem of transferring data from an old device to a recently purchased one. There are quite a few diverse ways to solve this problem, but we will focus on the most popular, proven and more or less simple.

Depending on the situation, everyone for himself will choose the method that suits him:

through a personal computer;
using a remote web service;
through an external drive;
traditional - using a SIM card.

So, let’s take a closer look at how to transfer contacts from Nokia to Nokia in the most painless way for both the data itself and the user's nervous system.

Transfer via personal computer

For this option, we need the actual PC itself, an old phone, a new gadget and a USB cable (preferably branded). MOBILedit utility will be used as a software tool in this matter. You can, of course, use proprietary software from Nokia, but many experienced users after close acquaintance with Nokia PC Suite prefer third-party applications, due to numerous errors and shortcomings of the latter.

MOBILedit

Before transferring contacts from Nokia to Nokia, you will need to download this software to your computer. You can find MOBIledit on the official website of the developer, then you need to install the program on your PC and launch. There shouldn’t be any problems with downloading and installing - everything is intuitive and simple.

Before transferring contacts from Nokia to a computer, it is necessary to install the drivers in MOBILEed. In order for the process to go faster, select your phone model in the drop-down list and agree with the installation.

After the drivers are correctly installed, you must go to the tab "Phone -> Cable Connection". If the program asks for the type of connection, then select PC Sync (synchronization with PC) and in the next step we connect debugging already on the phone.

Before you drop contacts with Nokia, you need to enable USB debugging on your phone. To do this, go to the device settings, then open the "Developer Options" and put a check mark in front of the item "USB Debugging".

Data export

After that you need to go to the “Phonebook” tab and select “Export contacts”. The utility will ask for the type of file to be saved and the place where it will be located. Enter the required data and save the export file.

Further, it is already possible to transfer contacts from Nokia to Android via MOBIledit. To do this, you can use the USB cable, Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. In the utility, select "Import", and then import the previously saved file with contacts. Using this software, you can export contacts from Nokia to an iPhone or any other gadget with an iOS platform.

Yandex.Disk application

An interesting and fairly simple option for data migration using a domestic search engine, namely the Yandex.Disk application. All we need is a personal computer connected to the network.

Before transferring contacts from Nokia to Nokia, you will need to download the Yandex.Moving and Yandex.Disk applications to your phone. You can find it both on Google Play, and on the open spaces of the search engine itself (in the mobile version).

But there is one nuance: we install Yandex.Moving on an old phone, and Yandex.Disk on a new gadget.

Step-by-step instruction

Before transferring contacts from Nokia to Nokia, you need to activate your account in the search engine, that is, simply log in to save data there in the future. The whole process is quite simple, and the implementation of all points should pass without problems.

We launch the software on the new gadget and enter the account with the same data that was used on the old phone.
Go to “Menu” -> “Settings” -> “Transfer” from phone to phone. ”
The utility will ask for the code combination that you received earlier, enter it and confirm the move.
After completing the procedure, the program will notify you of successful completion.

Google drive

Transferring Nokia contacts to a new gadget can be done using a similar Google search engine and its Google Drive proprietary application. To do this, as in the first case, we need a personal computer connected to the network, and special software.

The basic principle of Google Drive is to synchronize the data of your devices. This is quite practical, especially if you want to make some changes to the phone, but it was not at hand.

In order to synchronize contacts, you need to activate your Google Drive account both on the phone and on the PC. In the left part of the screen, select the “Gmail” item and then click on the “Contacts” tab. Next, you will see the import options that can be configured according to your wishes, and then start the synchronization / import procedure.

It is also worth noting that Google Drive allows you to recover lost data that has been erased over the past 30 days.

Transfer contacts without a PC

If there is no way to connect your gadget to a personal computer, then as an alternative option for copying data, you can consider transferring contacts via wireless protocols. The simplest and most proven method is Bluetooth, which is why we will consider it.

In order to migrate contacts from one Nokia to another, you need to perform the following steps point by point:

turn on both of your phones;
activate the Bluetooth protocol on both devices (required: “Visible to other devices”);
on the old "Nokia" go to the "Bluetooth" menu and find a new gadget;
confirm the synchronization by entering the pin code on both the old and the new device;
in the phone book, select all the contacts you want to export, or select all;
there, in the drop-down menu, select the item "Transfer" -> "Using Bluetooth";
upon completion of the procedure, the utility will notify you of a successful copy.

SD and SIM cards

These are quite old methods that can be used only in extreme cases, because they are fraught with uncomfortable restrictions and do not always reflect correctly, especially if the phone models are different, as well as the platforms on which they work.

To transfer contacts using an SD card, do the following:

insert the drive into the old device;
in the phone book in the drop-down menu, select "Save contacts to external media";
remove the SD card and install it on a new gadget;
Using the "Import" item in the phone book, start the migration of contacts from an external drive.

In the most hopeless situations, you can take advantage of copying data using a SIM card. In order to copy the data, you need to insert the card into your old phone, and then use the drop-down menu in the phone book to export. After, rearranging the SIM card into a new device, you need to import contacts in the same phone book.

The main disadvantage of this method is the restrictions on the number of characters in the subscriber’s name (8 characters), that is, before transferring data from one device to another, you will have to reduce all names to a limit or be satisfied with “trimming”. In addition, there are restrictions on the number of contacts - no more than two hundred, so after exceeding the limit you will have to look for the 201st contact and continue the procedure. The method is extremely inconvenient, but if you did not have a personal computer at hand, the Internet or even the lights were turned off, then this option will work.
