Copy contacts from Nokia to LG

Hi

What is the best and least painful way to copy 180-odd contacts from a Nokia 6300 to LG Optimus?

Many thanks in advance.

    Move the contacts from the phone memory onto the sim card, stick sim into LG and copy from sim to phone memory.

    Gizza a drink!
  • Thanks, but the SIM won't hold 180-odd contacts? Nowhere near it.

    So, say I transfer from phone => SIM, transfer it to new phone and then repeat the process, surely the same batch of contacts will be transferred from phone => SIM on the old phone again?

    Using the SIM is a bad idea. At best it will only transfer Name and Number.
    The best solutions:
    Use Nokia PC suite to sync your phone with your PC. Then the LG software to do the same.
    If your LG supports it, you can use Google Sync.
    Send the contacts using Bluetooth, SMS or MMS.

    Thanks, makes sense. I've done the Nokia import part so halfway there.

    you could try sending them via Bluetooth to your new phone.

    Thanks. I take it this would work sim-free on either phone because it has nothing to do with SIM use? Guess so.

    Thx for replies all.
