One of the most annoying and frustrating things is losing a large number of contacts just because you didn’t make an effort to take a backup. Most people push off this task for a later date thinking this is a time consuming process and needs a lot of expertise. However, this is not the case. Importing and exporting contacts is a simple process which anyone can accomplish without having to spend a lot of time.
There are multiple ways in which you can perform the operation of importing and exporting contacts. Thanks to the advancements made in the field of computer and cell phone technology, it is possible to backup all your contacts on the cell phone and in your email box and retrieve them easily.
Using Wireless Technologies
If your computer is Bluetooth enabled, then, importing and exporting contacts can be as easy as ABC. Most cell phones today have Bluetooth technology included in them. Hence, all you are required to do is to insert the disk that came with your cell phone, install the software and follow the onscreen instructions. Once you set up both the devices, transfer of contacts will be completed in a short span of time.
Using a Wired Connection
You can also directly connect your phone to your laptop or computer and have them communicate through the software provided in order to exchange contacts. If the other device you want to exchange contacts is also portable then you can establish a wireless connection between the two and proceed with importing and exporting contacts.
As a last resort, there is the internet or even a simple network that you can access to and send information. Since contacts are usually going to be stored in your digital organizer or your cell phone, you should refer to the user manuals for the specific details regarding contact exchange. It might not seem like a very easy option at first, but when you do try it out, you will realize how effortless it actually is. The backward compatibility feature of most of the new devices makes the entire process quite effortless.

I’m amazed at how easy it is to import and export contacts–you definitely gave me a project to do this Sunday afternoon.
The alternative to this–losing your contact list and trying to collect the contact info of everyone you know, starting from scratch–is enough to make you pull your hair out.
