In some cases, your contacts are saved on your SIM card, so you'll need to copy them to yours Google account to be able to transfer them to the other mobile phone. So if during the check you notice that they are out of sync, calm down, follow these simple steps and that's it.

  • Open the Google Play application on your device, click on Settings and then on Import to display another window with more options. If you have contacts on your SIM card, select it to import them into your Google account.
  • In case you have contacts in your ANDROID internal memory, you need to click on contacts, then copy contact and select Google.

By performing these two simple steps, your contacts will already be synced with your Google account, therefore, when you enter that account on your new mobile phone, they will be displayed. If you look closely, the best thing is that even if you lose your mobile, your schedule won't be lost because it will always stay there.


When you start using your other mobile phone it will be sufficient to log in with your same account and your contacts will appear automatically, as the mobile is already configured for this. However, if that doesn't happen, you just need to enter settings, accounts, Google and activate synchronization.


This way you will have the same contact on both phones and any changes made to one will be reflected in the other.
