Question

How do i transfer contacts from old nokia symbian phone to windows phone?

Also is there a way to sync sms from my old phone to windows phone?

Windows Phone is Nokia 710. My old Nokia Phone has bluetooth but it is refusing to connect to the new Windows Phone

Answer 1

There's a contact transfer app for Nokia Windows Phones.

Easy route: watch the youtube video showing the contact transfer process at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gwZAWXyXYbU .

Have the micro SIM in your Nokia 710 and turn it on. You must use the micro SIM that comes with your Nokia Lumia, aka the one that was in the box.

In the application list you should find "Contact Transfer". Follow the instructions and connect the two phones via Bluetooth. Your contact will move from the old device to the new one.

Answer 2

Built into every Nokia Windows Phone is a small utility, 'Contacts Transfer', providing a very quick way for Symbian smartphone owners to get their core contacts over to a replacement Windows Phone. Here's a walkthrough of this usefull utility in action.

1. Turn Bluetooth on in the source smartphone (on the N8, in Settings/Connectivity)

2. Start the utility and you'll be prompted to turn Bluetooth on. Do this and you'll be shown Bluetooth enabled devices nearby.

3. Tap the one you want and you'll be asked to confirm the connection on the other device in the usual way.

4.The Lumia will scan the contacts on the other smartphone (via PBAP) and report on the number of entries found. Tap on 'Continue' to proceed with the transfer, which should take a minute or so at most.

Answer 3

SMS messages can not be brought over. Contacts on the other hand, might be able to.

I have never used a Symbian phone, but if you can sync your contacts to a service like Gmail, hotmail, or yahoo you can then add that account to your Windows Phone and your contacts will be brought down as well.

Maybe someone else who has a Symbian phone can provide a better way, but I think that is going to be your best option.
