Follow these simple steps. It won't take a mo...

1. Make sure your phone is compatible

The instructions for some of the most popular phones can be found on our help channel. Click on "How do I copy my contacts from SIM to phonebook?" to get instructions.
If you don't have any contacts on your SIM, go to step 3.

3. Check if Contacts Backup is already installed
Some phones already have Contacts Backup on their menu. If yours does, choose 'Contacts Backup installed' option below. Choose the other option if it doesn't, or if you're not sure.
