1424284 2016-08-09 21:47:00 Had the misfortune to lose my batphone the other day, rang Vodafone to block the sim, did that ok, got a new phone and blank sim, registered that ok, was worried about my contacts,but they seem to have been transferred when the new card was registered. Is this what happens? Whenu (9358)
1424285 2016-08-09 22:15:00 Seems to be kosher. When I went from an S5 to a Note with a new SIM all my contacts etc were transferred.
Surprised the bejeezus out of me. No idea how they do it, and don't really care but I was impressed.

Think it might have done that. Phone ones still missing.

Pass. Probably. As I get older and grizzlier I am getting concerned as to how much stuff the likes of Google pinch from my devices, however I also presume they find my life as mundane as I do!

1424289 2016-08-10 00:10:00 When I bought a new phone, had the nano sim, but contacts were easily transferred/restored from previous micro sim via Google Contacts. Also Photos through Google Photo's. But I think you can't personalise ringtones in Google contacts. Need to have contacts stored on phone, or use some kind of App or workaround. kahawai chaser (3545)

That is the most likely explanation.

Samsung ships an app called Smart Switch in default. When you got a new Samsung phone, it will transfer staff automatically.

For Gmail users, it is quite good for contacts transfer. However, if you switched to a new phone, there are other kinds of data needed to be transferred other than contacts. In this case, you need to find a more suitable app instead.
