| How-to: Transfer Contacts from an iPhone to the Alcatel OneTouch POP C5 or POP C7 Posted: 09 May 2014 06:01 AM PDT Transferring Contacts using iTunes: One of the most common methods of contact transfer is through iTunes. The software allows you to sync contacts from your iPhone with a Google account, allowing you in turn to sync the contacts from the Google account with your Android smartphone. This method of transfer requires access to a computer connected to the Internet, and iTunes installed. - Open iTunes on the computer (NOTE: if you don't have iTunes, you can download it for free from Apple's website)
- Establish a connection between your computer and iPhone via USB
- The iPhone will appear in iTunes once it successfully connects
- Click on the iPhone to view the handset's summary page
- Go to the "Info" tab and mark the "Sync Contacts With" check box
- From the drop-down menu, select "Google Contacts"
- Enter your Google account's username and password. NOTE: assuming that you have already added a Google account in iTunes, you can click "Configure" and select it from the list
- Allow iTunes to sync the contacts, by clicking "Apply"
- After that's done, register the same Google account on the OneTouch POP, by going to "Settings" > "Accounts"
- Set the Google account so that it can sync contacts with your Android smartphone
Using iCloud to Transfer Contacts: If you've used the iCloud backup service on your phone before, then your contacts should be backed up on your iCloud account already. By accessing your account through a computer with Internet access, you can export these contacts in the form of a vCard file. After that, you can easily import the contacts on your Android phone, as follows: - Launch the Internet browser on your computer

- Click "Contacts" and select the contacts that you wish to export

Importing Contacts via "My Contacts Backup": My Contacts Backup is an iOS application that can be used for transferring contacts, without needing access to a computer. The application is capable of creating a backup of all your iPhone contacts, which can then be sent to your Android device via email. To do so: - Visit the App Store and install "My Contacts Backup" on your iPhone
- Open the application and tap "Backup". This will create a backup file containing all your iPhone contacts
- Once the file is created, tap "Email" to attach it to a new email
- Enter your own Gmail address as the email's recipient
- Send the email to your address
- On the Alcatel smartphone, open the email and download the attached file
- Import the file's contents using the "Import" function from the contacts application
Using "Send Anywhere" to Transfer Contacts: " Send Anywhere" is a different application available on both iOS and Android, which allows you to transfer various file types including contacts, cross-platform. The application works using a P2P connection, so there's no need for a computer in order to perform the transfer. - Go to the Google Play Store and install "Send Anywhere" on your Alcatel smartphone
- From the App Store, install the application on your iPhone
- Open the app on both devices
- From the iPhone, tap "Send" > "Contacts"
