Method 1: Using MobileTrans
This method is relevant for Nokia phones equipped with Windows Phone 8, 8.1 and 10, as well as Symbian 40 and 60. This is a good option for how to transfer contacts from Nokia to Android without Google.
MobileTrans is an easy-to-use application that allows you to transfer data between IOS, Android, Windows Phone, BlackBerry and Symbian platforms. The program helps to transfer contacts, photos, music, videos, messages, call history, applications and much more from one device to another. Such copying occurs with almost one click of the mouse.
Using a SIM card
One of the most common and fastest ways to transfer contacts is the SIM card method. To implement this method, you only need two devices and one card. This is done like this:
- After inserting the card into your Nokia phone, go to the Contacts menu
- Click "Select All"
- Select “Move to SIM card” from the drop-down menu. Now the numbers are saved on it
- Remove the SIM card and insert it into your Android smartphone
- Go to Contacts and select the “Show from SIM” option
- Ready! Numbers can also be transferred to the device
Despite its effectiveness, the method has one significant drawback - the limited number of free slots on the card.
Because of this, users will not be able to transfer a large number of numbers at once.
How to do this?
Download the MobileTrans program to your Windows or Mac computer, install and run it. Then simultaneously synchronize your Nokia phone and Android tablet or smartphone with your PC. In the program interface, find menu items for searching for devices.
When both devices are found using the above software, the content that is supported to be transferred from Nokia to Android will be available for selection in the form of a list. So, check the box in front of the word “Contacts” if you want to copy them from Nokia to Android.
Click the "Start Copy" button to begin the data transfer process. Once the process is completed, all contacts from your Nokia phone should be available on Android.
If you want to import content from Nokia Lumia (running on Windows Phone 8, 8.1 or 10 Mobile) using this method, you first need to back up your contacts to your Microsoft account in the cloud. Typically, if you enter the system settings, the data is saved to the cloud automatically.
Part 1. Transfer Contacts from Windows Phone to Android via Google Account
If you are not available on a computer, you can use your Google account to transfer contacts from Windows phone to Android. It is quite simple and requires little skill so that anyone can handle this solution.
Here are the detailed instructions on how to use a Google account to move contacts from a Windows phone to an Android phone:
Step 1: Bake contacts on Winphone
On your Windows phone, go to the People app, tap the setting icon with three vertical dots to make an up-to-date backup of your contact.
Step 2: Add a Google Account
Tap on the "add account" option on the settings screen and select Google to sign in to your Google account. Then your contacts will be synced with Google.
When you're asked to give permission to back up Windows contacts to your Google Contacts, simply sign in and continue.
Step 3: Sync Contacts to Android
Then go to your Android device; Add your Google account to the Settings app to be able to sync contacts with Android.
Wait a couple of minutes, these Windows contacts will be transferred to your Android phone successfully!
Method 2. Nokia Suite with Android File Transfer
This method is relevant for most Nokia phones, excluding Lumia brands. Nokia Suite and PC Suite are the official software for transferring content (such as contacts, photos, music, calendar, tasks, notes, bookmarks and feeds) between PC and Nokia phones. These apps make it easy to create backups and restore from them. Nokia Suite is designed for the latest non-Lumia phones (eg Asha series). If you have an older device (say, you need to transfer contacts from a Nokia 515 to Android), you should use PC Suite.
In turn, Android Transfer is a professional application for synchronizing and backing up data from phones and tablets on Android. Any content, including text messages (SMS), contacts, applications, music, photos and videos, can be transferred using this program both between Android devices and between such a device and a PC.
Transfer contacts from Nokia to Nokia via bluetooth
The method of transferring data between communicators using bluetooth is quite simple. The main thing here is that the filled fields of one model coincide with the available fields of the other.
To begin the transfer process, turn on bluetooth on both devices.
Next, go to one of the menu sections on the device from which the copy will be made (depending on the mobile model):
- in older or budget versions of devices, select “Options” - “Synchronization and Backup” - “Replace phone” - “Copy from here” - “Contacts”, and then a list of available devices with bluetooth enabled appears, select the one you need and click “Copy” ;
- in some modern Nokia models, copying business cards via Bluetooth is carried out using the “Transfer my data” application, which is either installed on the phone or can be downloaded for free from the store;
- In some of the latest touchscreen smartphone models, you can transfer your phone book using the special “Transfer Contacts” menu item.
