OK mine is quite different sha. I just use pdf converter to convert all my contacts to pdf then I send it to my email that's all

Useful info

good info.
question-is it necessary to have internet to sync contact?

If u are using an android phone, all u need to do is just sign into ur gmail account on setup, it automatically saves ur contacts.

Its a life saver, my phone crashed on me the morning I was going to someone's office, and I needed to call before am allowed into the premises. I simply went to a cafe, logged into gmail, at the buttom left corner there's a provision to download ur contacts in different formats. Downloaded and printed my entire contact list in 4 A4 paper.

Thanks man i just did mine, one Love in the house

Thanks dear. Though will try accessing the backed up contacts later. What one don't know is ahead of him. I've suffered so much in the hand of lost contacts, either by lost or spoilt phone.
And for those talking I'll of it and those that've been using it, you should've shared this with us since.
Once I'm able to retrieve my backed up contacts, I'll be so happy. But I noticed while I copied it to email address, it duplicated the contacts, looking for means to delete the duplicates without mistakes.
Thanks once more

Nice info all of you.thanks
