    Transferring Contacts Using iTunes:

    Among the multitude of features offered by iTunes, the software in question also allows the user to sync contacts from an iPhone with a Google account. Synced contacts include any information saved on them, such as email addresses, homepages, contact notes and more. For this approach you need access to a computer with an Internet connection and iTunes installed.

    1. Launch iTunes on the computer
    2. Establish a connection between the PC and iPhone via USB
    3. If successfully connected, the iPhone will appear in iTunes. Click the device to open the summary page
    4. Access the "Info" tab, and mark the check box next to "Sync Contacts With"
    5. From the drop-down menu, select "Google Contacts"
    6. If you haven't done this in iTunes before, register your Google account. Otherwise, you can click "Configure" and select an existing account
    7. To begin the syncing process, click "Apply"
    8. On the ZTE N800, log in with the same account used in iTunes. (NOTE: if you need to add an account, go to "Settings" > "Accounts")
    9. Set your account so that it can sync contacts with your N800

    Using iCloud to Transfer Contacts:

    In case you have used iCloud on your iPhone prior to this guide, then your smartphone's contacts should be already backed up onto your iCloud account. If so, then you can use a computer with Internet access in order to export these contacts as a VCF file.

    1. Launch the Internet browser on your computer and visit https://www.icloud.com/
    2. Click "Contacts" and select the contacts that you want to export
    3. Click the "Settings" button located in the lower-left area, and select "Export vCard"
    4. A VCF file will now be downloaded on your computer
    5. Import the file to "Google Contacts". Alternatively, you can connect the ZTE N800 to your PC using the USB cable, and transfer the vCard file to the phone's "sdcard" directory. After that, launch the contacts application, press "Menu" > "Import / Export" > "Import from SD card". Select the desired account and load the vCard file

    Transferring Contacts via "My Contacts Backup":

    There are ways to perform contact transfers without access to a computer. You can use various applications to do so, such as "My Contacts Backup". This app offers the option of creating a vCard file with your iPhone contacts, which can then be transferred to the ZTE N800 via email.

    1. From the App Store, install "My Contacts Backup" on your iPhone
    2. Open the application and tap "Backup" to create the vCard file
    3. Once done, click "Email" to attach the file
    4. Enter your Gmail address as the recipient, and send the email to your own account
    5. Switch over to the ZTE N800 and open the email containing the attachment
    6. Download the VCF file and use the contacts application to import the file's contents in your phonebook

    Transferring Contacts through "Send Anywhere":

    Another application that can be used for transferring contacts without a computer is "Send Anywhere". This app allows the user to transfer contacts and various other types of files through a peer-2-peer connection.

    1. Install "Send Anywhere" on the iPhone via the App Store
    2. From the Play Store, download the app on the ZTE N800
    3. Launch the application on both smartphones
    4. On the sender device (the iPhone), tap "Send" and select "Contacts"
    5. Mark the contacts that you want to share, and tap "Send"
    6. Lastly, choose your method of contact transfer. If you pick "Generate QR Code", you can scan the code with the ZTE N800's camera to commence the transfer. You can also tap "Receive" on the N800, and type in the transfer code that has been randomly generated on the iPhone
