Contact List

I am going to port my number from Verizon to Red Pocket Mobile. I will be using the same phone and changing the SIM card. Can anyone tell me if I will lose my contact list with all the saved numbers?
  • Do you have an micro SD memory card In the phone
    If not get one and put it I there
    A super cheap 4 gig card , is plenty large for just contacts
    There should be an option or a downloadable app from the the vzw get it Now store, that will let you save the contract list on the memory card
    It could have changed, but my phones all Verizon never did save contacts on the SIM card, which only used to identify the phone to the vzw cell system

    Kyocera PC Drivers
    Connect phone to pc via USB
  • Where would the micro memory card go in the phone? Would I need some kind of adapter?

    IF the phone is an Android Google may have a backup feature as well.
    IOS I can't help you
    Non-Smart.. Take notes cause I do not know

    One thing I did in my non-smart days was save the contact list to teh SIM card, then transfer it to the new phone.. (Or you may be able to use a Memory card) Then transfer it back to the phone's memory then pop in the new sim.

    But best if you have teh tech at the phone store do that kind of trick.
  • I have read the manual and it is not at all detailed on how to do it. I do have a way to connect the phone to the laptop, which I have done and still not figured how to do it. Like I said, tech challenged.
  • Plugging in the cable is not enough
    For the pc to correctly access phone operation and file system
    You must install the windows pc drivers , on your pc
    The phone must be turned on, then plug phone into usb
    You will use windows explorer ie this pc
    You treat the phone like it is an external USB memory stick/drive
    And go thru file system folders until you find your contacts
    Then save/copy that folder to your pc
  • check page 31 of the manual at the bottom where it talks about contacts options - Import/Export.
