Copy contacts using Bluetooth
Have your nearest and dearest instantly at your fingertips. Use the Transfer my Data app to
easily copy your contacts.
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 OneDrive, 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.
