How can I transfer the numbers from my old Android phone onto my new iPhone if I lost the old Android phone? I lost my old android phone. Decided to try out an iphone just to get literate. I'm wondering what the process is for transferring my contacts from my old android phone (which i don't have access to) to my new iphone.
I'm using Verizon as a provider, so might be able to leverage their cloud, though I am not sure if that's an option. I'm wondering if anyone else has done this before, and / or knows of a standard way to go about it.
If you were syncing contacts with your Google account you can login to your google.com account. In the top-right corner, just left of your photo there is a menu, where you choose &quot;Contacts&quot;. You can browse your contacts there and even export them in CSV format.
You can than import these contacts to your Apple Accounts and voilà, sync iPhone with the account.
Please note that CSV import in Apple Account is limited to few contacts at a time, so without programming the procedure is practical only for relatively small number of contacts.
I wonder if there is an iPhone app that would sync directly with Google Account - good candidates are Outlook Client and some other e-mail clients that can use gmail. If you find something like that please post another answer to help others.
