Solved! How to transfer contacts from LG840G to Samsung Galaxy J2 using a micro SD card

[ziggysam2017]

I have copied my contacts onto the SD card and installed the card into the J2. But, when I go to settings it asked for vCF cards. The contacts on the LG were not vCF format. So, I then went to contacts on the Samsung J2 and all I see is my name that I had used for my Samsung Tablet that I have had for several years. I do not see any three dots at Contacts.

I am NOT smart and am needing to get these contacts onto the smartphone. So, the instructions will need to be step by step.

How did you copy the contacts to the SD card?

Backup the contacts as vcf?

Usually an app can help. Any tool that can import contacts.

On the LG 840 G I went to the right of the All Contacts where there are three horizontal lines. I then went down to SIM Management and there below it was Copy Contacts to SIM which I did.

I then removed the SD card and installed the card into the Samsung J2. But on the J2 it asked for the contacts in .vcf format.

Evidently the contacts did copy to the SD card but not in the correct format.

And, I do not see a way on the LG 840 G to change the contacts format.

You copied the contacts to the SIM card. If you move the SIM card to the new phone, all contacts should be there, without the need to import. You can then copy the SIM contacts to the SD card, if you use a different SIM card in the new Samsung.

For vcf format you can use a computer
