Transferring contacts from blackberry, any tips?

I'm trying to transfer my old contacts from my blackberry curve to my new iPhone 5c. They have different sims so i obviously can't do it manually and according to some websites i can't do it through my google account without paying. Can anyone tell me a way to do this? Would be much appreciated as i have hundreds of contacts.

Even though the sims are different sizes the cellular provider for your new iPhone should be able to copy them to the new sim. AT&T local office did this for me several years ago. Then the following method: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4994
Another approach is method 1 in the following. Did you already have your contacts on your PC while you were using the blackberry? If so you can skip some of those steps. http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/how-to/mobile-phone/3448910/move-contacts-from-blackb erry-iphone/

  • Problem transfering contacts from N97

    hi
    i am transfering contacts from N97 to outlook. I used the ovi to syncronize the contact from N97 to outlook 2007. when i checked the outlook contacts. All english names are showing fine. But arabic name shows not correct way? how could i solve this, but my n97 shows all arabic contact in a right way? and my outlook , is supported by arabic too.

    You can try to copy out a single contact as vCard and import it into Outlook. vCard will encode the names in utf-8 Unicode correctly.

  • How to transfer contacts from blackberry q5 to iphone 6?

    I have a company Blackberry Q5 phone and a personal new iphone 6. How can I transfer my contacts from my company phone to the new iphone 6? I already tried Blackberry Link and Blackberry Desktop Manager but it was not possible. I sync my Blackberry with Outlook in my laptop (not Mac). Any tips which do not imply a cost or uploading my contacts to the cloud (i.e. idrive), will be appreciated?  

    Well, the only solution would be if you had been syncing the contacts to a supported application on the computer or to iCloud. You can update the 3GS to iOS 6.1.3, but you could not use the backup from the iPhone 5, since it was probably on iOS 6.1.4. The sync is your only solution.

    HI,
    This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1692 provides tips that will resolve most issues related to syncing contacts and calendars on a PC.
    Make sure you have at least one contact in the contact manager on the PC, so there are contacts to merge.
    You can sync and even merge contacts on from multiple computers as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1296

    Hi there!
    If compatible, the RIM-provided device switch wizard will accomplish the task. You can read about it here:
    KB05421 What is Switch Device Wizard
    KB05459 How to use the Switch Device Wizard to switch from another smartphone to a BlackBerry smartphone
    If not, then you will need to use whatever your other device provides and export the data to a CSV file. Then, you can use the RIM software to import that into the BB:

  • Trying to get contacts from Blackberry Pearl 8230 to iPhone 4

    Since the Blackberry Pearl doesn't offer Backup Assistant, I have my contacts backed up on the Blackberry Desktop Software program.  Any idea how I can get them onto my new iPhone 4?
    I have not previously used a contact management software program and am hoping to just use the native MacAddress Book software on my MacBook Pro.  MacAddress Book does not recognize the file extension (.bbb) from the Blackberry Desktop program and I have no idea how to change it.
    BTW - I'm not very savvy with this, so please 'dumb it down' for me!
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    In order to export your contacts from a Blackberry device to a csv file, you would have to use a program such as Outlook or Outlook Express.  If you don't have Outlook, you can download a free 60 day copy of Office 2010 from Microsoft.  That should do the trick for you.  First, save your contacts with Blackberry Desktop Software into Outlook.  Then, from Outlook, export your contacts into a csv file.  From there, you should be able to use iTunes to import the csv file and set up your contacts.  Hope this helps.

  • Getting email contacts from Blackberry to Iphone 4

    I am unable to get my old contacts from Blueberry to Iphone4. Do I have to manually add all contacts and emails in the new phone. I have used VZ contact transfer through My Verizon. It didn't transferr all contacts and no emails.

    Unfortunately email account transfers just aren't possible between Blackberry OS and iOS. They're just too different, so you'll need to copy over those server-bits manually.
    As for contact transfers, I would see about Syncing the Blackberry with your PC or Mac via Blackberry Desktop:
    Mac: http://us.blackberry.com/apps-software/desktop/desktop_mac.jsp
    PC: http://us.blackberry.com/apps-software/desktop/desktop_pc.jsp
    (if your older handset is unsupported, there is a link on the bottom of the PC page to download earlier versions)
    Once the contact information is actually on the PC or Mac, syncing will be much easier to do through applications like Outlook, Entourage, Address Book, or even online solutions like MobileMe and Google Sync.

  • Getting back contacts from Blackberry Protect

    so my Blackberry has broken and im getting rid of it but all my contacts are saved on the BB.
    they are backed up on Blackberry Protect online but how do i get the contacts from BB protect to my SIM card???

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    The only way to do exactly as you request would be via another BB...restore from BB Protect, and then copy (one by one) your contacts from that BB to the SIM. BB Protect backups can only be used to restore to a BB...there is no other usage of that method of backup.
    The Desktop Software, on the other hand, offers more robust access to your data. For instance, you can obtain a PC-based 3rd party BBB/IPD parsing app. Further, with Desktop Software prior to 7.0, you can export your contacts to CSV on your PC.
    In any event, if all you have is BB Protect backup, then there only solution is as I've said above.
    Good luck!
