Sharing Contacts via "Send Anywhere":

Last but not least, "Send Anywhere" is a third party application that can be used for easy contact transfer through a peer-2-peer connection. This app does not require you to have access to a computer, making it an effecting method of transfer.

  1. Install "Send Anywhere" on both smartphones via the Google Play Store
  2. After the app has been installed, open it on both devices
  3. On the Galaxy SII Plus, tap "Send" > "Contacts"
  4. Select the contacts that you wish to share and tap "Send"
  5. Lastly, select a method of contact transfer. Tapping "Generate QR Code" on the Galaxy SII Plus allows you to scan the resulting code with the Xperia Z2A's camera to commence the transfer. You can alternatively tap "Receive" on the Sony device, and type in the randomly generated transfer code from the Galaxy SII Plus
