How to Transfer Contacts to OnePlus 3T

OnePlus 3T

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 OnePlus 3T.

Why do need to transfer contacts on OnePlus 3T

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.

Transferring contacts with the help of a Google account

  1. Click on the three dots in the upper right corner, "Settings".

  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.
  5. Click on the "Copy" button at the very bottom in the center.

Creating a backup copy of contacts on the Google Account

  1. Go to settings.
  2. Find the item "System".
  3. "Data backups".
  4. "Google Server".
  5. Turn the toggle switch to the on position.

Restoring contacts on a new phone

All data will be restored by default after authorization via a Google account. If you have already logged in, but they have not appeared, then:

  1. Go to settings.
  2. Finding Google.
  3. "Installation and resetting settings".
  4. "Recovery".
  5. Click "Restore".

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".

Transferring contacts to OnePlus 3T with the help of a SIM card

The most convenient way is since the SIM card can be inserted into most smartphones. The only limitation — is to check the size of the SIM card slot in advance.

Importing contacts from a SIM card

  1. Click on the three dots in the upper right corner, and select "Settings".
  2. Click on "Copy".
  3. Click on "Copy from SIM".
  4. Select the necessary data.
  5. Click "Copy".

Exporting contacts to a SIM card

  1. Click on the three dots in the upper right corner, and select "Settings".
  2. Click on "SIM card contacts".
  3. Click on the three dots in the upper right corner, and select "Import from phone".
  4. Select the necessary data.
  5. Click "Import to SIM".

Transferring contacts with the help of Bluetooth

Connecting phones via Bluetooth

  1. Go to settings.
  2. Find the item "Bluetooth and devices".
  3. Click on "Bluetooth", and the toggle switch should be turned on.
  4. Click "Add device". Smartphones are highlighted by the handset icon.

Transfer contacts via Bluetooth

  1. Select the necessary numbers.
  2. Click on the three dots in the upper right corner. Click "Share".
  3. Click "In the form of text". You can choose "As an attachment", just the first method is more convenient.
  4. Select "Bluetooth".
  5. Select the available devices.

Transferring contacts with the help of cloud storage

The method is also not recommended for use, since it has no advantages and global differences from transferring using a Google account. The only difference — is the name of the cloud service on each device. For example, on Vivo smartphones it is VivoCloud, on Xiaomi smartphones it is MiCloud, and so on.

Using cloud storage to back up contacts

  1. Go to settings.
  2. Find the item "System".
  3. Select "Data Backups".
  4. Choose not the "Google Server", but the top option (it varies depending on the phone).
  5. Click "Contacts".
  6. Click "Copy".

Restoring contacts on OnePlus 3T from cloud storage

  1. Go to settings.
  2. Find the item "System".
  3. Select "Data Backups".
  4. Decide not the "Google Server", but the top option (it varies depending on the phone).
  5. Click "Contacts".
  6. Click "Restore".

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.
