Transferring landline contacts to mobile

Renee

We are losing our landline phones at the end of the month. We're having Full fibre fitted.  Is there an easy way to transfer all our landline contacts to our mobiles.
Help would be appreciated

Transfer them from what? Paper? A spreadsheet?

Unlikely that most landline phones have a data export feature... Do, though find and read the manual.

You could try taking photos of the contacts off the landline phone screen with the mobile phone and using a text (OCR) reader?

May be as easy to write them all down for manual entry into the contacts of the mobile or a computer and then share that?

As asked in the response above - we need to know what they're on. Is it a cordless phone, an older landline phone with curly cord? A piece of paper pinned on a noticeboard? A spreadsheet? 

Might also be good to know whether your mobiles are Android or Apple

Assuming you have Android phones, you could just bash them into here (sign in your Google username/email and password same as you use on your phone)

https://contacts.google.com/

Then they will appear on your phone.

You can then export them, sign into another Google account and import them into that one.

Last time this question came up it was about transferring contacts from a DECT landline phone to a mobile. Turned out that it wasn't even possible to transfer numbers between the two DECT handsets connected to the same base station.

Bottom line, became apparent that a manual exercise would be the appropriate method since it was transferring less than a hundred numbers and was also an ideal opportunity to cull redundant numbers.
