How to Transfer Phone Contacts from Nokia To Android

Last Updated on March 27, 2020 by bharadwajgiridhar 27 Comments

How many of you shifting to Android? I know almost all people are shifting to Android, by Google. Do you know why? Mainly because of less cost and more features. Earlier we have to spend $200+ to buy an Android operating system mobile but time has changed a lot. Today I can see Android mobile range starts from $50. Earlier Shop owners boozed about Nokia for their customers for their own profit. As Profits is more in Android mobiles when compared to Nokia, Shop owners started boozing about Android mobiles to uneducated people, which make them to choose Android mobiles without knowing about Android. I’m not criticizing Android, To be frank I too love Android and I started hating Symbian after using Android device. I have seen many people who shifted from Nokia to Samsung, HTC, LG etc which runs on latest Android OS. They feel difficulty while transferring contacts from Nokia to Android. If you’re one who failed to move phone contacts form Nokia to Android. then this guide suits perfectly for you.

Nokia To Android

Move Phone Contacts from Nokia To Android

Moving contacts from Nokia to Android is not a hell difficult task, all you need is little concentration while reading this article and basic knowledge about Command prompt (CMD)

Apart from concentrating you need some more things as well. Check them below

  1. A Nokia Phone (With USB option of course :P).
  2. USB Cable for both phones (I mean Nokia and Android mobile).
  3. Nokia PC.
  4. PC running on windows OS
Step by Step guide
  •  Before entering this task, Download Nokia PC Suite and install it on your PC
  • Create a new folder on any drive say D: in our case and name it something which you can remember for long time (In my case i named it as Contacts).
  • Then Import all contacts from Nokia mobile using Nokia PC Suite.
  • Now select one contact, then press Ctrl+A so all contacts get selected.
  • Here comes the tricky part, open My Computer and open that folder, now drag all the selected contacts to that folder. All contacts will get saved in .vcf format.
  • Now go to Command Prompt by typing cmd in RUN (For RUN press win+R).

Step 1 on CMD:

Type the drive letter where the conatcs folder is saved in last step with ” : ” neglecting the quotes. As I have save my contacts in D drive i typed D: Now hit enter to see something like this

Step 2 on CMD:

Now type cd folder name. Replace folder name with the name of the folder you have created earlier.I name my folder as “Contacts”. So I will entered cd contacts. I got the following output

Step 3 on Cmd:

This is the important part to transfer contacts from Nokia to Android. You have to type the following:

copy *.vcf allcontacts.vcf

and i got the following output:

  • Entire work on CMD is completed, now you have to connect to your android mobile via USB.
  • You’ll see a new drive on your computer.
  • Now go to the folder where all contacts are saved (D:contacts in my case).
  • Copy the “Allcontacts.vcf” file and paste into the new drive.
  • Now disconnect the USB device and go to your file manager in your Android mobile.
  • Click on the Allcontacts.vcf and boom! you will get all your contacts imported soon in seconds

    hey Amar,

    Though this manual method may work fine, but there are few ready made applications available using which we can do the same thing easily. 🙂

    Guys, this works. I sucessfully managed to copy my contacts from my Nokia phone to my Android in 5 mins. Its unfortunate that manufacturers dont even bother to explain simple steps like these to their customers and in the end its the people who belive in open source and true sharing who have to come to our rescue. Kudos to you for putting up this simple yet great article !!

    Hi,
    Procedure explained vividly.
    I am so happy for the time taken was < 5 minutes.
    Tried a couple of options suggested in other sites.
    This is the simplest & by far the BEST.
    Thanks a lot!!!

    Stopped before step 1 as I am unable to open the contacts file created by Nokia PC Suite.
    All data stored has been as an NCC file and viewing the contents of the folder that PC Suite created in order to select contacts is not possible.
    I have a Nokia 6710 and I want to transfer contacts to an LG P875.

    Nice and simple. But please make a correction in your instructions. I think the command should be {copy *.csv allcontacts.vcf}

    Nokia exports your contacts into a .csv file and not .vcf
    If it exported into .vcf file, you could simply copy into your Android phone without conversion.

    Thanks

    I thought of adding Adfree in this list however, as I am also an Adroid developer, I believe that since I give my applications for free having some advertisements and earning and earning some money from them is no big deal for the user. Samba Filesharing is indeed a useful app. In order to transfer files over wifi from and to my android device I am using ES File Explorer.

    Thanks for the solution, the simple way is save all your contacts in your sim rather saving them on your handset

    I think there is a better way to do that. You can copy all the phone contacts to SIM and insert the SIM into Android and copy the contacts. Please correct me if I am wrong…..

      Hi,
      I had contact list of 1300+
      Coping by sim takes more time.
      This is the best option.
