I have a broken Hd2 running wp7 and all my contacts are saved through my live account. I just got used Verizon Pre plus. Unfortunately i can not use the phone unless it's activated and i am going to do that today. Do you know if Pre can sync my contacts through my live account?

For those of you who have been looking for a way to transfer your contacts from your Windows Mobile phone to the Captivate, I found that Sprite has a way to do this.
I didn't want to post all my contacts on Google because they don't belong there since, in my case, they belong in Outlook. Outlook being the standard business client for the majority out there. I was looking for a way to get my contacts from the old phone (HTC Tilt2) to the new phone (Captivate) without posting it to Google.
I ran across this:

Make sure you have sync'ing turned off prior to loading the contacts to the phone for your primary account so you're semi-assured to not sync them to Google.
It worked well for me. I wish that Google would have had the thought to meet the needs of businesses as well as the personal side of using Android. I use my phone for both business and pleasure and am a little tweaked at the Android OS for not making an Outlook client that sync's with the standard contacts list. Yes, without having to load seperate software to store them in like I've seen being released.
Let me know what you guys and gals think about using Sprite....
I keep reading that phone contacts sync to Google. From what I can see, Google only syncs your contacts from Google to your phone and not your phone cantacts to Google. If there is a way to sync your phone contact to your Google account, I would like to know how to do it?
In other words when I got my Captivate AT&T transfered my contact from my old phone to the new phone. I then added my Google account to my phone and the Google contacts were added to my phone but the phone contacts did not go to my Google account. Phone has Google and phone contacts and Google has Google contact only.

There is a Outlook plugin/app you need to install in order to sync contacts from Outlook to Google. Search and you will find it. I don't know the name of the plugin or app becaue I don't use it.
Microsoft also have Outlook Connector that you can install to sync contacts from Outlook to Windows Live accounts. Then you can setup your Android phone (or Windows Phone 7) to sync with your Windows Live account using Exchange ActiveSync. Or you can setup GMail to import contacts directly from your Live account.
I use Kies to keep them sync'd
Need some help exporting my contact either to my Gmail account, or locally on my computer. I've got about 100 contacts that I made from my phone, all linked to Facebook, but I've just taken delivery of a nice shiny HD2, and want to be able to switch the SIM between them, with each syncing contacts to my Gmail, and thus to the phones.
I've ticked for my Omnia 7 to sync the contact to my Gmail but it's not working, so I'm not sure what else to do, also tried it with another Live account which isn't working either, any tips?
Cheers
hi all I have a HTC Surround using WP7 version 7390. Can anyone tell me how to back up my contacts (phone numbers) to SIM card or to pc. I am planning to reset the phone and I do not want to lost them.
Thanks
As far as I know you can't copy to the sim. However you can sync your live account and then download the list of contacts from live.com so you can keep a backup.
You cannot copy to SIM, only from SIM.
That being said, the phone emphasizes the use of the cloud (Windows Live, Gmail, etc. etc.). Your contacts should be automatically syncing to the main Windows Live ID on your phone already. So when you reset, just use the same ID to sign in and the contacts will be restored.
Thank you very much I will try to syc it with my live account. I konow it keeps the email accounts but I am not sure it will keep the numbers anyway I will try it thank you again
Hi all,
I've a problem. Touch of my HD2 doesn't work and i have Wp7 on the phone.
I haven't a Live account, then my contacts are not syncronized in cloud.
Can i have back my contacts without using my phone?
P.s. Only the touch of HD2 doesn't work.
Hi,
I've recently got a WP7 and now I am facing some minor problems. I have all my contacts backed up as vCards (.vcf), now I would like to import them to my Omnia 7, but as far as I got with google is, that I can only do it using some cloud **** (like live.com, or google), what I'm not willing to do. Is there any other way getting my contacts on my phone? I'm running Mango and my phone is unlocked btw.
Regards,

Copy them to your SIM or use Exchange

So there are only those two ways? SIM is not an option, and setting up my own Exchange server just to copy my contacts... :/
But thanks anyway.
Well the Options are to sync them via Windows Live with your main Windows Live ID, via Google or Exchange. If you Import them from your SIM or manually add them you still need to put them into one of these accounts
What is the easiest and best way to transfer just my contacts from my current BlackBerry Keyone to my new Google Pixel 3? I don't want to transfer anything else. Thanks guys.
Just use Google. Backup on one phone and only sync contacts on the new phone.
As long as you logged into your google account on the Key One, then all your contacts will automatically load when you sign into the Pixel.
Manually transferring contacts hasn't been a thing since 2008. lol
