Using the "Contacts" App:

NOTE: Using the pre-loaded "Contacts" app you can back up the contacts stored on the SGSIII, transfer the backup file to the Grand Max via email or PC, and then restore the backup file on the Grand Max. To do so:

1. Launch the "Contacts" app on the Galaxy SIII
2. Access the "Contacts" tab
3. Press "Menu" > "Contacts to display" > "All contacts"
4. Press "Menu" and tap "Import / Export"

6. After the backup file is created, open the email client
7. Compose a new email and attach the backup file to it

9. Switch to the Galaxy Grand Max and open the email, then download the attached file
10. Open the "Contacts" application
11. Press "Menu" > "Import / Export"
12. Choose to "Import from SD card" or "Import from storage", depending on where the VCF file was downloaded
13. Locate and select the file to import the contacts

NOTE: After the VCF file is created on the Galaxy SIII, you can transfer it to the Samsung Galaxy Grand Max by connecting both smartphones to your computer via USB, and manually copy-pasting it from the SIII to the Grand Max. Then, import the file using the "Contacts" app

Using "Send Anywhere":

NOTE: Lastly you can also use 3rd party apps to transfer your contacts. Send Anywhere is an application that can transfer files and contacts via a P2P connection without needing access to a computer. To transfer contacts using "Send Anywhere":

2. Launch "Send Anywhere" on both of your devices
3. On the Galaxy SIII, tap "Send" > "Contacts"
4. Mark the contacts you want to share and tap "Send"
5. Select the desired transfer method. Tapping "Receive" on the Galaxy Grand Max allows you to enter the randomly generated transfer code from the Galaxy SIII to commence the transfer. Alternatively, tap "Generate QR Code" on the SIII and scan the code with the Grand Max's camera to begin the transfer
