With the 8.1 update, Windows Phone can finally be considered a mature operating system. Standout features like Cortana can do everything that even its competitors can’t do everything better.
There’s a lot to explore on your Windows Phone, but you can’t do it until you’ve done the most basic thing, which is importing your contacts.
From Google, Outlook, iCloud
If you’re on Android or iPhone and already use Google or iCloud to sync your contacts, Microsoft has made it really easy. All you have to do is sign in to these services to import stuff like mail, calendar, and, of course, contacts.
Step 1: From the application page, access Setting and choose Email+account and click Add an account.
Step 2: Now, select the account where your contacts are stored. Options include Exchange for business users, Outlook, Google, iCloud, Yahoo, and even Nokia accounts.
Step 3: Sign in to your service and start syncing.
Step 4: To actually see the contacts you imported, you need to enable the service from Everybody application. So open the app and you will see Show contacts with phone numbers blue sky. Tap that and another page listing all the accounts you’ve signed in to will show up. Choose your preferred account and you’re good to go.
Import CSV
If for some reason the above method doesn’t work for you, or if there are some issues with two-factor authentication, you may need to revert back to the pure and simple CSV import method.
The only problem is that unlike Android phones, you can’t just import a CSV file you’ve copied to local storage. You will have to go into the Outlook account associated with your phone and import the CSV file into it. The contacts will then show up on your device.
Export contacts from Google Contacts or iCloud
Go to Google Contacts and from the top menu select Than. From the drop-down menu, select Export.
From the pop-up box, choose whether you want all contacts or just a group. Download the file in Outlook CSV format and remember where you saved the file.
To export a CSV file from iCloud, go to icloud.com, sign in and select Contact. On your keyboard, press Ctrl+A to select all contacts and from the gear icon in the lower left corner select Export.
Import in Outlook
Go to the People Online hub and sign in with your Outlook/Live details. There is a button for Google to import your contacts by linking the two accounts together. You can do that if you want.
To import the CSV we downloaded in the step above, select Start typing word button Import contacts section below.
From here you can go in Google or Other. The process is the same, only Google The tab will give you instructions for exporting the contacts we’ve done.
So from Other optionally, you will see a Select file button. Select the file we downloaded above and then tap Upload.
All your contacts now show up in Everybody in your Outlook account and on your phone.
How to import contacts from a SIM card
Step 1: From Everybody app find the three dot menu button in the bottom right corner and tap it.
Step 2: Now, select Setting and from the new page, tap Import from SIM.
Step 3: Select the SIM card and where to save the contacts. You can import them into any connected account like Outlook, Google, or iCloud.
Step 4: Now a list of all your SIM contacts will show up. Uncheck the ones you don’t want to sync. Knock on Import and all your contacts will be imported.
That’s it. Now all your SIM contacts will show up in Everybody application.
