Copy contacts
Have your nearest and dearest instantly at your fingertips. Use the Transfer my Data app to
easily copy your contacts, text messages, and pictures from your old phone. The app does not
work with all phone models.
Tip: If your old phone is a Lumia, or if you have previously backed up your contacts to
your Microsoft account, to import your contacts from the service, just sign in to your
account on your phone. The contacts are imported automatically.
Your old phone needs to support Bluetooth. The contacts on your old phone need to be stored
in the phone memory, not on the SIM.
1. On your old phone, switch Bluetooth on, and make sure the phone is visible to other devices.
2. On your new phone, tap Transfer my Data.
3. Tap continue, and switch Bluetooth on.
4. Select your old phone from the list of found devices, and follow the instructions shown on
both phones.
If your contacts are written in a language that is not supported by your new phone, the contact
info may not be shown correctly.
If you don't yet have the Transfer my Data app, you can download it from
www.microsoft.com.
Transfer content using your Microsoft account
If your old phone is a Lumia, the easiest way to transfer your contacts, calendar, and text
messages to your new Lumia phone is your Microsoft account.
Make sure that you have set up a Microsoft account on your old and on your new Lumia
phones. If you don't have a Microsoft account set up on your new Lumia phone yet, swipe
down from the top of the screen, tap All settings > Accounts > Your email and
