How to transfer contacts and BBM contacts into Z10

RIM provides username and password to:

1. Download apps into your BB phone

2. Save your BBM contacts

3. other perks for using BB

Transferring the contacts from old BB to new Z10 is a piece of cake. Before Z10, all BB are using Blackberry Desktop Manager to transfer data from one BB to another. With Z10, you have to use a new software called Blackberry Link. Open it.

It is recommended to connect the old BB and the Z10 at the same time in doing the transfer.

1. There is called "Data Transfer" on the BB Link , click this and follow the prompt on the screen.  

2. Select the items that you would like to copy from old BB like contacts, calendar, sms, etc. Tick the boxes.

3. Then click on Transfer at the bottom right.

4. Be patient in using the software since it would take time to transfer the items, specially if you have loads of information from old phone, like 5 minutes or more.

For BBM contacts, use the username and password that you used in your old BB and sign into Z10 using the same. If you don't remember your BB userid and pwd, retrieve them using a link "Forgot password" and retrive the information using the email that you used in creating the BB userid. 

If BBM contacts can't be transferred, use manual invites to contacts.

There is another way of transferring the data using BB Protect. It is a cloud service to where you can save your phone information on the cloud prior to transferring them to Z10. Use the old BB phone in downloading this from AppsWorld and save whatever you needed saving, then on Z10, download the same and recover whatever you have saved.

HOW TO TRANSFER CONTACTS FROM IPHONE TO SAMSUNG GALAXY S3

When it comes to phone to phone contact transfer, I usually employ Outlook. The trick is connect the source phone to PC and use their software (PC Suite, etc) and sync all contacts to Outlook. Then connect the destination phone to PC and using the phone software, you can then sync Outlook into the second phone.

1. Connect iPhone to PC. Using iTunes, sync to Outlook (make sure that you dont have other contacts in Outlook)

2. All contacts are now in Outlook.

3. Using Samsung Kies (pronounced as kiss), sync Outlook contacts to Samsung S3

4. All contacts are now in Android Samsung Galaxy S3. Reverse the method in transferring contacts from Samsung Android to iPhone.
