  12. Select an account if necessary and import the vCard file to it

NOTE: You can also transfer your contacts over to the Core Prime by connecting both smartphones to your computer via USB, and copy-pasting the file manually from one phone's storage to the other. Then the contacts can be imported using the "Contacts" app

Using "Send Anywhere":

NOTE: Last but not least you can use various third party apps to transfer your contacts. Send Anywhere is an app that can be used to transfer files and contacts over a peer-2-peer connection, even cross platform.

  1. Open the Play Store and install "Send Anywhere" on both Samsung devices
  2. Launch the app on both smartphones
  3. On the Galaxy SIII, tap "Send" > "Contacts"
  4. Mark the contacts you wish to transfer and tap "Send"
  5. Choose the desired transfer method. Tapping "Generate QR Code" on the SGSIII allows you to create a code that can be scanned with the Core Prime's camera to begin the transfer. You can also tap "Receive" on the Galaxy Core Prime and manually add the randomly generated code from the SGSIII
