Transferring Contacts Using MobileTransĪfter you launch the app, you can either select a direct phone-to-phone transfer or use the backup that has been created using the official tools for each platform. Clearly, this part of the tool needs an update big time. When compared to Microsoft, I am sure hardly anyone uses Symbian OS these days. Microsoft Lumia is not invited to the party at the moment and I am quite surprised to see Symbian instead. Here’s a table depicting what you can transfer depending on the smartphone OS. The app can transfer data between Android, iOS, BlackBerry, and Symbian. After that, you’ll have to purchase paid versions that cost between $19.95 to $39.95 to acquire all the features of the app. The free trial version is good enough to transfer just 5 contacts from one device to another. MobileTrans can be downloaded for free from the Wondershare home page. Let’s see how the product works and what you must know about it before you go ahead and use it. Using the MobileTrans tool, you can connect both phones to a computer and click the button called Copy to get all the data to the new phone without any hassle. When I mentioned single click, I really meant it. If you are looking for a one-click solution to transfer the data from an old phone to a new one, MobileTrans, a simple app from the house of Wondershare, can help. And if you are switching platforms, like iOS to Android, the complications increase fourfold.Īlthough there are a number of ways to transfer data from the old phone to new, these aren’t straightforward for the average, non tech-savvy user. If you save your contacts on an online account, it’s easy to sync across devices, but beyond that, you have to figure out a way on your own to get these transfers done. Can’t blame them, such a drudgery that task is. I have seen folks carrying both – the old and the new phone for a few weeks after the switch because they have messages, notes, images, and a lot of other important files they might need, and they mean to do the transfer ‘soon’.
