How to import contacts into android phone 7

Posted by droid on November 17, 2008

Export contacts from Outlook or Outlook Express to csv format and then import to gmail. That should do it for most users.

http://www.google.com/contacts

While you are there, use the find duplicates functionality. You can also put contacts into groups. The groups show up on your phone too after the sync.

A few apps in the store, like “contactsSync” and “CT live sync” could help, but the above is the best way to import contacts from any source.

contactsSync syncs contacts with an exchange server.
CT live sync syncs live.com contacts.

    Ct live sync just does not work, period.
    It stops a 3/926 contacts.

    Yes, like is described above, the best way is to use GMail to import the contacts and let the sync do its thing.

    The best way is to open outlook, export all the contact in CSV then import them in Gmail…
    15mn later you are done.

    Or do it the easy way by using the Windows address book… No hassle there, plus you do not send your contacts on gmail

    How about exporting contacts from Entourage, that’s the email client from MS for Mac? I’ve tried exporting .csv files from Entourage and importing to my Droid contacts, but only one or two fields are “delimited”. All the rest of the contact info shows up as a block in the notes field (or whatever that field is in Droid contacts.) Any clues?
