How to Transfer Contacts to HUAWEI U8860 Honor (White)

One of the most convenient differences between a smartphone and a landline — is the contact book right on the device. Thanks to this innovation, millions of people were able to throw away their notebooks. However, a new problem has arisen — and how to transfer contacts to HUAWEI U8860 Honor (White).

Why do need to transfer contacts on HUAWEI U8860 Honor (White)

The issue of transfer lies in the plane of storing numbers. The fact is that an ordinary user of Android works only with a graphic layer. Roughly speaking, all program elements, codes, and other complex details are hidden deep in the device. Thanks to this, the smartphone is as convenient to use as possible — a couple of clicks are enough to make calls and send messages.

But with the transfer, everything is much more complicated. Data can be stored on:

• SIM card;
• the physical memory of the device;
• Google, Yandex, MI, Vivo cloud storage, and so on.

And the transfer is just necessary so that the user can safely use them. For example, by buying a new phone and inserting a SIM card with saved numbers, he will immediately receive a list of them. And by synchronizing the account on two different devices, he will be able to access the phone book from both smartphones at once.

What other ways to transfer contacts exist

• via Google account;
• via SIM card;
• via external media;
• with the help of third-party applications;
• with the help of Bluetooth;
• through cloud storage.

2. Click on "Copy".
3. Click copy from "Your email address".
4. Mark the necessary numbers that want to transfer to the device — just click on the desired number once and a checkmark will appear next to it.

Transferring contacts with the help of a data transfer app

We strongly do not recommend using this method. We cannot claim that all such applications steal your data. But we can't be sure that this is not happening. The standard toolkit is enough to transfer all the numbers where you need them.

Application selection

If you still decide to use third-party applications, then choose only software with good reviews and from trusted creators. For example, the "Contacts" app from Google.

Transferring contacts with the help of the app

It is not possible to create a common instruction — all applications have different interfaces and functionality. Therefore, we recommend that you find tips in the comments, or see instructions from the developers. With a high probability, they know why people download their application, so they download a small instruction directly into the "Interface screenshots".

Recommendations for data security

We advise you to accept the fact that they are not entirely secure. The only thing that remains — is to read the license agreement and, if you are not satisfied with it, do not store your data on various services. Remember that you can always copy data using a SIM card — it's much safer than storing data on the cloud.
