    Using iTunes:

    NOTE: If you have iTunes installed on your computer and access to the Internet, you can sync your contacts stored on your iPhone with a Google account. Once that step is done, you can re-sync the contacts with your Alcatel OneTouch Evolve 2:

    1. Launch iTunes on the computer
    2. Establish a USB connection between the iPhone and computer
    3. After it connects, the iPhone will appear in iTunes. Select it to view the summary page
    4. Access the "Info" tab and mark the check box associated with "Sync Contacts With"
    5. Select "Google Contacts" from the drop-down menu
    6. Register your Google account in iTunes. If you wish to use an existing account, click "Configure" and select one from the list
    7. Click "Apply" to commence the sync
    8. Register the same account as the one used in iTunes, on the Alcatel OneTouch Evolve 2
    9. Set the account so that it can sync contacts with your Android device

    Using iCloud:

    NOTE: In case you have used the iCloud backup service on your iPhone before, then you should be able to export these contacts in the form of a VCF file for Android use, by signing in with your iCloud account using your computer's Internet browser:

    1. Launch the Internet browser on your computer
    2. Visit https://www.icloud.com/
    3. Sign in with your iCloud account and click "Contacts"
    4. Select the contacts you want to export
    5. Click the cog wheel icon and select "Export vCard"
    6. The VCF file will now be downloaded on your computer
    7. After the file has been transferred, import it to "Google Contacts" or skip this step and instead:
    8. Connect the Alcatel OneTouch Evolve 2 to your computer using the USB cable. Transfer the VCF file to the phone's storage, launch the "People" application, tap "Contacts" > "Menu" > "Import Export" > "Copy Contacts From […]" the location where you want to import contacts from

    Using "My Contacts Backup":

    NOTE: In case you're looking for methods of transfer that don't require access to a computer, you can install various 3rd party applications designed for transferring contacts. Using "My Contacts Backup" (an iOS 3rd party app) you can back up the contacts stored on your iPhone, and send the vCard file to the Android device via email:

    1. Go to the App Store and download "My Contacts Backup" on your iPhone
    2. Launch the app and tap "Backup"
    3. Once the VCF file has been created, tap "Email"
    4. Attach the vCard file to a new email and send it to your Gmail address
    5. On the Alcatel smartphone, open the email
    6. Download the attached VCF file
    7. Import the vCard file using the "People" app and the "Import" option

    Using "Send Anywhere":

    NOTE: You can also use "Send Anywhere" to transfer your contacts without using a computer. Send Anywhere is a third party app that allows you to transfer contacts and other types of files cross-platform, via a peer-2-peer connection:

    1. From the Google Play Store install "Send Anywhere" on your Alcatel OneTouch Evolve 2
    2. On the iPhone, install the same app via the App Store
    3. Launch the app on both devices
    4. From the iPhone, tap "Send" > "Contacts"
    5. Select the contacts you want to transfer and tap "Send"
    6. Select the transfer method you wish to use. Tapping "Generate QR Code" on the iPhone will allow you to scan the code with the Evolve 2's camera to begin the transfer. You can also tap "Receive" on the Evolve 2, and enter the transfer code that is randomly generated on the iPhone
