Export Contacts To My Google Android Phone

Your Google Android phone makes it simple to export contacts to your smartphone. You can use the built-in Google account tools to sync your Google contacts to your new Android phone. The Contacts manager also has an option for importing your contacts directly from a SIM card, if you have switched from another phone to your Android. Both of these methods quickly add all of your exported contacts to your phone so you can be up and running again in no time.


Instructions


1. Bring up the home screen on your Android phone. Go to the Applications page.








2. Tap "My Accounts." Tap the Google account that you have associated with this phone.


3. Press the "Contacts" selection to sync your contacts between your Google account and your Android phone. Once you set the category to sync, the exported contacts will be added to your phone.








4. Shut your smartphone off if you're grabbing your exported contacts from another SIM card. Open the battery cover on your Android phone and pull the battery out by its tabs. Locate the SIM card slot, which may be anywhere within the battery bay depending on the phone model you're using.


5. Go to "Contacts." Press "Menu" and "Import/Export." Choose to import your contacts from the SIM card to add them to your Google Contacts. This option is not available on all Android phones, so you may not have this option depending on your phone.
