Beavis Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 i think you can also set up a google account and transfer all contacts onto that ready for an android phone +1 and much the easier way If you already have an Android phone you will need a gmail account anyway if you want to download anything from Android market. Once you have setup your account it normally stores automatically the numbers stored in your phone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbiscuit Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 i have Gmail etc, but i don't use it much, i might with the new phone slowly move over to using gmail instead of hotmail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris`I Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 I ve got currently an iPhone 4 32gb that I will be selling.... Whats the condition like?

I have a 3GS but the back of it is broken so need a new phone. Waiting for the 5 as I hope it has NFC. That or hopefully after the Olympics, work will have a branded S3 that I can nab I will recondition it as its got cosmetic scratches on the casing. Works fine apart from that....but i am fed up with the updates and iTunes and the slow applications like the fb app! Also I am fed up with signal issues and the short battery life! Thought I ll give the S3 a try....hoping it will be a bit better than the iPhone. O2 were giving 220 quid for it but the missus sold her iPhone 3GS 8gb on eBay for 180quid and it was very worn! Hopefully I ll get decent money hehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabbitstew Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 i think you can also set up a google account and transfer all contacts onto that ready for an android phone +1. Nice and easy. I setup a gmail account and imported all my emails & contacts from hotmail, yahoo, outlook, everything really! Then once you turn on your new android phone, you key in your gmail email address & password and the phone sets itself up - all your contacts, emails etc will just appear! Then, if you get a new android phone in the future, you just do the same again. Any apps or books etc.. are all linked to your gmail and will just appear. Nice & easy!

I really am struggling with this. Help needed please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ebized Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 I saved my sim contacts to the old phone and then with using an adaptor in that old phone (free from o2) transferred the contacts onto the S3's micro-sim, if that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also state the phone you are wanting to back up to google mail. If its an htc then I remember you back upto your sd card first then send to your gmail account. I assume you do have one? And if you do and it's linked to your current phone they should automatically back up anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rabbitstew Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Just been looking at what deals there are atm for the s3, and it looks like if i want to renew and keep on my £26 a month contract, then the s3 will be £200 at Orange. Thats mental. When I got my s2 18 months back it was nowhere near that. 02 seem to be charging the same, so im guessing most of the providers are coming in at similar prices?

Chris`I Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Does the current S3 do NFC? We have some bling ones at work that do, but they're not for the public unless you happen to by an Olympian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went with phones 4U, free phone, unlimited calls, texts and internet for £36 a month on o2 as I needed that provider where I live. Vodafone through phones 4U could do the same tariff at £31 a month.

Three's advert shows it as being an NFC device anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just want to know if the new iPhone will be NFC, if not I will likely go for the S3 when my 3GS finally dies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
