whitebread Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 I'm getting an iPhone on Wednesday from an Apple store. What is the easiest way to transfer my contacts from my BlackBerry to the iPhone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenomorph Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Can you transfer the contacts to your computer first? iOS will import contacts from several other programs. On Apple, the "Address Book". On Windows it can be from the system Contacts app, Outlook, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Windows Live Mail? I have Windows 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can sync your contacts to a Gmail account and your iPhone will download them. That is what I did when I switched my Android phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bugsbungee Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Ask someone at the Apple store to do it, my brother was offered that service when he upgraded from a Sony Erricson to an iPhone 4, he just popped into the apple store and they migrated his contacts for him.

Sikh Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Best way to transfer contacts is Outlook or Google. If that doesnt work or you feel uncomfortable just ask someone at the apple store, they would be GLAD to help you to do it and they will do it the best and fastest way possible. They have all the tools and etc so you wont have to worry about "did it transfer"etc. ALSO, if you have a blackberry on ATT, save all your contacts to SIM, the iPhone 4 can actually import Sim Contacts. OFFTOPIC: Just letting you know getting an iPhone at this point and time is a waste. New ones "around" the corner so I would say wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
