    Using iTunes:

    NOTE: With iTunes on a computer connected to the Internet, you can sync the contacts on your iPhone with a Google account. You can then sync the account data with the LG Ray.

    1. Connect the iPhone to your computer via USB
    2. Launch iTunes on the PC
    3. Click the iPhone in iTunes to view the summary page
    4. Go to the “Info” tab and enable “Sync Contacts With”
    5. From the drop-down menu select “Google Contacts”
    6. Register your Google account, or alternatively you can click “Configure” and select an existing account
    7. Click “Apply” to begin the sync
    8. Once completed, switch to the LG Ray, register the same Google account and allow it to sync contacts with your phone

    Using iCloud:

    NOTE: In case you’ve used the iCloud backup service on your iPhone prior to this guide, your iPhone contacts should already be backed up on your iCloud account. If so, you can access your account on a computer connected to the Internet, and export the contacts as a vCard file for Android.

    1. Launch the Internet browser on your PC
    2. Visit https://www.icloud.com/ and sign in with your iCloud account
    3. Click “Contacts” and select the contacts you want to share
    4. Click “Settings” > “Export vCard”
    5. After the vCard is downloaded, you can either import it to “Google Contacts” or:
    6. Connect the LG Ray to your PC via USB, copy the vCard file to the phone storage, and import its contents using the “Contacts” application

    Using “My Contacts Backup”:

    NOTE: The methods above require access to a computer with an active Internet connection, but you can also transfer your contacts without a computer, through various third party applications. My Contacts Backup is an iOS app that can be used to back up and transfer contacts via email.

    1. Open the App Store and install “My Contacts Backup” on the iPhone
    2. Open the application and tap “Backup”
    3. Once the backup file is created, tap “Email”
    4. Compose a new email and ensure that the vCard backup file is attached to it
    5. Send the email to your own address
    6. On the LG Ray, open the email and download the vCard attachment
    7. Import the vCard file to your phonebook via “Contacts”

    Using “Send Anywhere”:

    NOTE: Send Anywhere is another third party app you can use to transfer your contacts. It uses a peer-2-peer connection and doesn’t require a computer.

    1. Visit the App Store and install “Send Anywhere” on your iPhone
    2. On the LG Ray, visit the Google Play Store and install the same app
    3. Open the application on both smartphones
    4. On the iPhone, tap “Send” > “Contacts”
    5. Select the contacts you want to share and tap “Send”
    6. Lastly, select a transfer method. Tap “Generate QR Code” on the iPhone to scan the code with the Ray’s camera, or tap “Receive” on the Ray and enter the transfer code generated on the iPhone
