Transferring Contacts From Old Samsung To Z2

[NarwhalDancer]

Hi, does anyone know how to transfer the contacts from an old Samsung Ch@t 357 (GT-S3570) phone to an Xperia Z2?

I have tried backing up the contacts to a memory card on the Samsung and then using PC Companion to transfer them to the Z2 but for some reason only one contact was transferred over even though there are around 80 contacts.

Would the Smasung Kies software work or something like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=roLVvMowmuE

Thanks very much for any help.

Xperia transfer may work, if not already installed search on Google play.

Unfortunately the Samsung's OS isn't Android. I don't know what it is, probably Samsung's own OS as it's very basic and old. So I think Xperia Transfer won't work.

You can also export all contacts via Bluetooth to the new Xperia.

Oooh I didn't know it had bluetooth. So how would that work then interms of connecting the phones together and then transferring contacts?

@AfxTwn @Viridis Hope it's ok if I say one thing: you could also backup to google and restore on the Xperia. Also, you can backup to a SIM card and move it to the other (most probably the SIMs are different but the provider should be able to copy them).

Thanks for the advice alexdon but I will try a few of the other ways that have been mentioned first. I have also downloaded the Samsung Kies software which is supposed to work with these older phones. So if I can just backup the contacts to my PC and then I should be able to then import them into the Z2.

Problem is, I believe kies exports them to a different file type....
I'll check when home
