Returning contacts on old phone.

I had a bb tour. I upgraded to an android phone. I sold my old BB tour to my sister. I did a data wipe before I sold it. Here is the trouble. All of my contacts keep showing up on my old phone (the one I sold). Also, now all of my sisters contacts are showing up on my new phone. We delete them and they just come back. I suspect the old phone is still connected to my acct somehow , so when my sister added her contacts they are getting synced to my new phone. But what is restoring the contacts after she deletes them??

I don't know what you mean "backed them up using my linked Google account." When I go to my Gmail, then click Contacts, they are all there, so that's automatic. But I have several email accounts for various purposes and they are all linked to my phone. Is this where the partial list of contacts came from? One of the other Gmail accounts?

  • Contacts From Old Phone To New

    I will be setting up my iPhone as new when I get my new one. My concern is my contacts. If I push the slider on my current phone to green/on for contacts under iCloud, will then they show up on my new phone when I activate it? Is there an easy way to get my contacts on the new phone without losing any or creating duplicates? I don't want to restore from back-up, I want to set us as new.  I have heard Gmail however I worry that will create duplicates and will put some on my phone that I don't want there.

  • Getting contacts from old phone onto iPhone

    I've seen a few posts similar to this, but I'm looking for a simple answer. I had a Samsung phone through AT&T with a sim card and have many contacts on there. I'd like to bring them into the iPhone but don't know where how to insert the sim card to do this. Can it be done and can I do it myself or do I need to go into a store? I see a slot at the top of the iPhone, but it's not obvious how to remove it from the device. Thanks.
    If I do this, can I then synch to my Yahoo contacts or will this overwrite the contacts from the sim card of the previous phone?

    Page 6 of the iphone users guide covers SIM card installation.

  • I need to ask for an extension for when old phone is to be returned

    I took the new phone out to Verizon to help me transfer numbers etc. I was there for over 2 1/2 hours just trying to access and set up the phone.
    I have come to realize that a number of contacts did not transfer and I have to go thru the old phone contacts and resubmitt.  I was told that
    phone is to be returned within 4 days.  I am asking for an extension because there are issues with the new phone.  The "speaker" does not work
    on retrieving messages. So I will need to return to Verizon and see what needs to be done. Thank you, Valerie Esler

    Well, not only are you NOT addressing Verizon here, but there is no one from Apple here as well. Thus, no one here can help you.
    You need to call Verizon.
    I've asked our hosts to edit out your phone number. By posting it on a forum with over 10million users, you just might have to change it .

  • Returning an old phone on Edge?

    I recently used the Edge program to get a new iPhone 6. I still have my iPhone 4, and want to avoid the $200 charge (I upgraded on Early Edge and returning the old phone is a requirement). However I have no idea where to mail my old phone or how to make sure it is associated with my account. I went to my local Verizon store and they said they could not take it there. Any help?

    Here's the link.  You have to log in and it should take you directly to the label page.  I've heard that using Internet Explorer is a better option than using Chrome or Firefox when trying to print the label.

    Good luck!

  • My old phone broke and I am having trouble figuring out how to restore my contacts on my "new" phone (LG ENV2 Black)...

    My old phone broke and I am having trouble figuring out how to restore my contacts on my "new" phone (LG ENV2 Black).  Apparently the phone is so old that I am unable to install Backup Assistant on it, which sucks.  I have all my old contacts saved on my computer as a CSV and also another copy on a micro SD as VCF.  I have tried moving the CSV from my computer to my ENV2 via both Bluetooth and USB cable, but had no luck with either of those.  I also tried to pop the micro SD into the ENV2, and although I can load all my old pictures/videos/etc. from the micro SD, I do not seem to be able to restore the contacts from card.  I know there has to be some way to manually transfer these files; the contacts are still on my old phone as well; but I was unable to use the transfer wizard for that because my old phonedoesn't seem to be supported by that (Pantech Jester 2)

    Google a program called bitpim, that might do what you want.  Never used it but it's been talked about on the forums.  Other than that you might have to input them manually.  Mary

  • Can i use itunes to sync my iphone with another iphone. Both phones are iphone 4, I would like to recreate my old phone in my one. in other words; transfer my pictures, texts, contacts, notes ect onto my newer phone.

    hi, I have 2 iPhone 4 and i would like to transfer all of my documents and data, contacts, apps ect ect from my old phone to my new iPhone 4.
    Essentialy I would like to recreate my old phone on the new one. (older phone is scratched). I have a different phone number, and different i tunes account associated with each phone but I have no problem with changing the i tunes account on the new phone back to the account I had on the old one.
    I have done back ups in the past of my old phone, using i tunes and I would like to apply the backed up information to my new phone. How would I do this?
    Can I restore device A onto device B?  Also wondering what sort of information or files might not transfer?
    Thanks!

    The following link has instructions on how to transfer to a new device using iTunes (see the section below the "Use iCloud backup" section: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2109

  • How do I stop my contacts old phone number from appearing when starting a new text message

    I changed one of my contacts phone number, but when I start a new text message their old phone number appears along with their new number. I have checked my contact information and only their new number is in there.

    No fix for that yet, take a look at this link, https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4363225?start=0&tstart=0

  • Deleted contacts from iphone 4s, loaded new contacts from to phone from .csv file.  then I enabled icloud and it put all my old contacts back.

    My wife and I both have Iphones.  For the past 18 months her phone and mine had the same appleID (mine).  When I set up iCLoud backups and synch a month ago, my wifes phone ended up with all my contacts (1400+) and her's (<100) mixed together.  Didn't bother me, but drover her wild trying to find 'her' contacts.
    Oviously she needed to have her own appleID on her phone.
    After a lot of googling around I found the "Import Export Contacts" app.  It works great.  I opens a Service to a browser screen on a computer and can upload/download to/from the phone.
    I downloaded my copy of the combined contact list.  I found her's reletively easily by sorting on 'date changes' column. 
    On her phone I deleted the contact file. and set up her own appleID
    I created a .csv with her contacts only and moved it into her phone. then set up the phone to manage contacts in the icloud properties screen.
    All her (and my) contacts came back.  I thought when I deleted the contacts on her phone, the iclud synch woudl deleted them on icloud and then when I loaded ne contaces on her phone it would sych with icloud and all woudl be right with teh world.
      What can I do next?  I can give her her phone with her old contacts and not backup with icloud, but then she could lose her

    If you don't have a backup of the newer information then you don't

    I used the following method, which means that your contacts are permanently on your iPhone (the problem with syncing to Gmail in order to 'transfer' contacts is that you need the gmail account to be active all the time in order to see the contacts), take an example of transferring contacts from Sony to iPhone:
    1. Transfer all of your contacts to the Sony Experia's internal storage. It will create a vCard file.
    2. Connect your Sony Experia to a pc
    3. Ensure that you can see the Sony Experia's internal storage files, and identify the location of the vCard file (for me it was in system/PIM)
    4. Set up an email account on your iPhone
    5. Email the vCard file to the email account on your iPhone
    6. Open the vCard file attachment on your iPhone
    7. You should now see your contacts and automatically have the option (in the same screen) to 'Add all xxx Contacts' where xxx is the number of contacts in the vCard file
    Hope that helps.

    You do a restore as new to wipe the iPhone then at the end of restore you will be asked to restore from backup. Choose your iPhone backup.
    Note you cannot restore an IOS newer than the IOS on iPhone, you need to update iPhone first.
