Moto G is one of the best selling phones in developing markets. I’ve been using it for the past few days and it’s no less impressive. Especially when you consider that it’s only $179. It’s fast, feels good in the hand, and comes with the latest version of Android – 4.4 Kitkat.
I hope you are as satisfied with your purchase as I am. I will share more phone tips and tricks in upcoming articles but first, here are four different ways to get contacts from your old phone, iCloud, Gmail and Vcard/CSV files to your Moto G .
1. Contacts are stored with a Google account
This is the simplest option. If you used your Google account to sync your contacts on your old phone, then you really don’t need to do anything.
During the setup process, if you entered the Google account where all your contacts are stored, they will automatically be downloaded to your phone.
In case of a problem, Go to Setting -> Account -> Googletap your account and make sure Contact options are checked.
2. Sync with iCloud (Manual)
Note: This is manual method where you need to download the Vcard file and transfer it to your phone manually. If you are looking for an automated approach, skip the fourth option in the article.
Step 1: Go to iCloud.com and sign in. Then click Contact. You should now see your contacts listed here. Select all contacts by pressing Ctrl+A.
Step 2: From the gear icon in the lower left corner, select Export Vcard.
Step 3: a.vcf file will be downloaded. Transfer this file to your Moto G by copying it to local storage.
Step 4: Now, open Everybody apps on your Moto G and from Menu button in the bottom right corner, select Import Export.
Then choose Import from Memory. Your phone will now be scanned for the .vcf your files and contacts will be imported.
3. Android to Android – Motorola Migrate
Coming from an Android phone? Motorola has made it really easy to transfer all kinds of content from your old phone to your new phone. First, you need to download the app on your old phone (it comes pre-installed on your Moto G).
Step 1: Launch the app on your Moto G. From the first page, select Android because we are importing data from android phone.
Step 2: Next, select the type of content you want to import. Contacts, messages, photos, videos and even call logs can be imported. For this example, I’m sticking with contacts.
Step 3: Moto G will ask for permission to take over your Wi-Fi and once you give it permission it will ask you to download the Migration app on your old phone. Fight Next and a QR code will appear on the screen.
Step 4: Now, on your old phone, launch the app and just press the . button Begin button. You should now see a QR code scanner appear. With your old phone’s camera, scan the QR code displayed on the Moto G’s screen.
That’s it. The phone will now connect and the contacts will be transferred in just a few seconds.
4. iCloud Sync with Motorola Migrate (Automatic)
The recently updated Motorola Migrate app lets you import contacts from iCloud to your Google account simply by signing in to the service. If you don’t want to do it manually as described above, here is another alternative.
Step 1: From the first screen, select Iphone.
Step 2: Sign in with your iCloud account and in the next step sign in to your Google account and give the app permission to access your contacts.
In the next few seconds, your iCloud contacts will be transferred to your Google account and will show up in the People app.
