How to Convert .Contact Files to VCF

Last Updated: February 20, 2017

You have some contacts on your laptop/desktop, you want to get them into your phone, but your phone is denying them because they're not in the right format. Here is what to do.

Steps

1
Open up 'Windows Explorer' this can be done by clicking the folder icon at the task bar. Don't see it? Search up 'Windows Explorer' in the search program and files bar in Windows 7 and in Windows 8 go to the 'Tiles' Page and then search Windows Explorer.
2
See the file icon on top? The one which says libraries? Type in there C:\Users\username goes here\Contacts except that replace the 'username goes here' with your computer username.
- Here now we are at our .contacts files. at this stage your Windows Explorer should fit your whole screen. Except your task bar, see export right at the top right after import?
