Transfering Contacts to BB 8900 via bluetooth

hi, m trying to help my dad transfer his contacts from sony ericsson W890i to the BB 8900, but for some reason the Ericsson gives me the 'items not accepted by other device'. where as no notification what so ever is shown on the BB that there even was an attempt to recieve contacts. please if anyone knows how to resolve this, it would be appreciated greatly. 
thanks. 
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You can't send the contacts using bluetooth, but you can copy all the contacts to the sim card, and after this copy the contacts in the sim card to the BlackBerry phone
Go to menu, contacts, press menu, sim phone book, press menu again and Copy All to Contacts. 
If I help you with any inquire, thank you for click kudos in my post.
If your issue has been solved, please mark the post was solved.

  • Syncing contacts list to vehicle via bluetooth

    Since the last update I'm having problems with my contacts syncing to my cars bluetooth.  Any suggestions?

    You must have all your contacts on the simcard.  Try copying all the contacts on to the simcard and then see what happens.

  • Sending contacts to Nokia 6103 via bluetooth

    Good morning, everyone!
    I'm having some trouble with the bluetooth connection between my MBP (C2D) and my Nokia 6103 telephone. Specifically, I am trying to send the contents of my addressbook from the MBP to the Nokia. However, I'm only able to send one contact at a time and the connection turns off and back on between each contact. I'm presuming (hoping?) that I'm missing something quite obvious.
    Can anyone offer some help? (I've posted this same question in the bluetooth area.)
    Thanks!

    Good Evening!
    The obvious thing I think you may be missing is iSync.
    http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/isync/
    Open the Bluetooth preferences pane, click the Devices tab, then click the 'Setup new device..." button, then follow the instructions.
    iSync will handle the synchronisation of Contacts and Calendars between your phone and Mac. Its not necessary to do it manually from Address Book.

  • Unable to recieve contacts from pearl to bold via bluetooth please help

    hello everyone. I have a BB pearl 8100 and a bold and my pearl has the option for sening all the contacts to another device via bluetooth, i have paired both phones but i do not get the option for sending contact list to device like i do with the other phones i have paired with the pearl. why do some decives recieve this option and others dont, i need to send my info via bluetooth because my usb connection is failing on thes pearl and i have almost 1000 contacts.
    please help, any ideas?

    This is exactly my issue, even when the 'entire music library' is selected on the music tab, the gauge at the bottom (the blue showing audio) only shows 2GB.
    On the top right of this tab however, it still states 8,000 songs.  My iPhone 4S is in (almost) complete denial of my library.  The other iPhone 4S linked to this library has no issue syncing the entire collection.
    I have also tried selecting the other option where you manually check playlists, albums etc, and selected EVERYTHING manually, and still only 2 GB of my entire colletion is picked up. 
    My next options are backing up my entire library, deleting iTunes and all components and reinstalling, but what if this doesn't fix it?  I have wasted so much time on Match so far :-(  I could also make an appointment with a genius and bring laptop and iPhone 4S to the shop as a next step.
    At this stage I would be happy if they refunded my Match subscription so long as I had my entire collection back on my iPhone.

  • C6-00 Internet connectivity problem via bluetooth

    I just bought the Nokia C6-00 two month ago and now have problem to connect my laptop to the internet via bluetooth with Nokia C6. The OVI PC suite works fine as i can syncro contact,notes and etc via bluetooth except internet. The internet config setting in ovi suite follows as the service provider configuration.  Before my laptop can connect to the internet successfully but now  i can't connect with the internet setting before. Please help me to solve this problem.

    is there any chance the problem to be hardware not software or settings?

    My iphone 3G has worked fine via bluetooth with my BMS 3 series (57 plate) until I updated to V.5.0.1 software and now only some but not all contacts are transferred and available - any ideas?

    Rodger,
    Thank you for your gracious welcome . . .
    and thank you for your swift response . . .
    and thank you for your information (and encouragement!).
    Yes, I read that too, but searched in vain for the specifity of, say, your direction:
    "Go ahead and update to 8.0.2, as it contains the 8.0.1 update."
    So I shall!
    Again, many thanks.

  • Sending contacts via Bluetooth

    I can connect my Z10 to my car via Bluetooth and even transfer contacts automatically when i start the car. The problem i'm having is that all contacts are transferred, including Facebook contacts, which are relatively worthless in my car and always duplicates of what is already in my device address book. Is there a way to configure the Bluetooth connection so that only a subset of contacts are transferred while pairing (e.g., categories or groups)? This is very beneficial, and it's exactly how my BB Bold 9700 and 9900 worked. Hell, even iPhone allowed this. Please don't give my already disillusioned iPhone friends a single bragging right.

    Hey wnbb,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    Thanks for the question.
    I would suggest hiding the Facebook and other contacts on the BlackBerry Z10 and then they will not be sent over via Bluetooth.
    Follow the steps in this blog article: http://helpblog.blackberry.com/2013/04/how-to-hide-contact-accounts-in-blackberry-10/
    Let me know if you have any more questions.
    Cheers.

  • Beaming contacts via bluetooth between 2 iPhones 3GS.

    Hi all, does anyone knows how I can beam a contact from one iPhone to another via bluetooth?
    It was said in the keynotes presentation that it's possible.
    I've tried turning bluetooth on both iPhones to ON, but all they did were searching for devices with no results.
    Tried going to Contacts to send contacts, but no bluetooth sending option is given.
    thanks for reading. help appreciated!

    No, you can't do this with an iPhone, and it wasn't "said" at any keynote presentation. Bluetooth data transfers to a computer or another phone are not supported at this time, and no announcements about this were made by Apple. This article summarizes the supported BT profiles in the iPhone:

  • Need help 2 get my new BB to receive my contacts via bluetooth from od phone!

    Hi guys, I just got a lovely BB Curve today and have spent the last 4 hours trying in vain to get it receive my contacts list via bluetooth from my old phone. I have paired them up and can send to my old phone but cannot receive to my BB. My old phone attempts to connect and then it comes up with a connection failed message. I have tried all sorts: making sure phones are visibile, setting them to 2 mins ....then changing it to "yes" ...making sure devices trust connection and then asking for a prompt....taking the encryption off...then leaving it on....
    I really am at my wits end as I have over 150 contacts and cannot face having to write them all out and manually type them in
    I am also terrified of getting into my new car tomorrow and finding out that my BB won't pair to my in-car bluetooth set up!
    Thanks!

    Not sure you can send/receive contacts via BLUETOOTH. Once the two devises are paired, then your done with the 2 minute limit and all that stuff. If each devise sees the name of the other devise, your done there. Then make sure there "connected" to each other. If not select the devise, press menu and select connect. Once that's done, your connected. Your car set-up should be just as simple. The setting about phone book entries, is for a bluetooth devise (headset, your car... things you make calls from and talk through) to have 'access' to your phone book to easily make phone calls. It doesn't copy or transfer your phone book, just has access. If your old phone has an option to "send contact via bluetooth" you'll probably have to do that for each contact and even then, I don't know that Blackberry will take it. Blackberry will however take v-cards. So if your old phone can e-mail a v-card, that would work. Blackberry can also synchronize with desktop applications like microsoft outlook and ever google mail. That way you'll have all your contacts from these locations as well. If your old phone can sync with these applications, that's another way to complete this task. This is done through your Blackberry Desktop Manager which also has a sync with other devises' so if your old phone has the ability to connect to a computer, you could try that. Many mobile phone carriers have software in their stores that help with this process and might be able to do this for you without charge.

  • How do I transfer iPhone contacts via Bluetooth to my car

    I just bought a Mercedes-Benz GLK 350 and I cannot figure out how to transfer my Verizon iPhone contacts to the MB console via Bluetooth vCard upload. Having trouble fidning a resource that can enlighten me on this.

    The iPhone 4 does not support the OPP profile that is required for Bluetooth contact transfer.  So your out of luck using conventional methods.
    Who knows?  Maybe iOS 5 will allow this... I know that they have improved bluetooth support, however I don't know if that includes OPP.
