Hi guys,
With various articles and comments writen, i understand that contacts can be import from SIM to Fairphone3 mobile, this is true from Google account too, when synchronisation is enabled.
But, if you want to export contacts, avoiding Google Cloud use for confidentiality concern, software solutions seems to be non-existent.
Export to SIM card doesn’t exist, and export fonctionality through native Contacts App doesnt’ consider SIM contacts.
Finally, with contacts on mobile memory, Google Cloud synchronization deliberately disabled, what’s the way to get the contacts back ?
I didn’t understand corectly, whether synchronization to or with SIM card is the purpose or only the tool you tried to use.
I do always use My Phone Explorer to synchronize or export phone data locally with the PC. So I can reuse the contacts when reinstalling a mobile phone or initiliazing a new one.
Correct. In Android, a third party App would be needed for this.
Also correct. Without the help of third party Apps, Android can only import SIM card contacts to the phone, it doesn’t manage or use them on the SIM card.
Once the SIM card contacts are imported, the Contacts App can export all contacts to a VCF file. I don’t have the stock App anymore, but here’s a guide …
