South hams hunter 8,996 Posted July 7, 2021 Report Share Posted July 7, 2021 Give me a clue on the phone Ken. Old style phone; go on the contacts and it'll give you the option on each contact to save to phone or Sim. Select Sim and they'll be on the Sim. Smartphone, just download clonephone and it'll copy all the data to a new phone easy peasy. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

pesky1972 5,745 Posted July 8, 2021 Report Share Posted July 8, 2021 I must’ve had a smart phone maybe 15 years. Never ‘update’, just keep adding to contacts. Reckon I must have at least 50-100 I’ll never ring again (unless I hear they’ve won the Euro-millions) and a dozen at least that are now dead Funny I can’t bring myself to delete the numbers of dead people off my phone. Is that normal, or am I weird? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

South hams hunter 8,996 Posted July 8, 2021 Report Share Posted July 8, 2021 Back up and sync device contacts Back up and sync device contacts by saving them as Google contacts: On your Android phone or tablet, open the 'Settings' app. Tap Google Settings for Google apps Google Contacts sync Also sync device contacts Automatically back up and sync device contacts. Turn on Automatically back up and sync device contacts. Pick the account in which you’d like your contacts to be saved. Your contacts can only be automatically saved to one Google Account. i know this works because i use my gmail for everything except emails, because of this my misses has my gmail to watch for important stuff. it keeps replacing her contacts with mine - mainly her mum and dad lol 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
