    Via iTunes:

    NOTE: With iTunes installed on a computer connected to the Internet, you can use the application to sync you iPhone contacts with a Google account. Then, you can register the account on the BLU, and allow it to sync contacts with your phone.

    1. Connect the iPhone to your PC via USB
    2. Launch iTunes and click the iPhone to view the device’s summary page
    3. Access the “Info” tab and enable “Sync Contacts With”
    4. From the drop-down menu, select “Google Contacts”
    5. Register your Google account, or click “Configure” and select an existing account if available
    6. Click “Apply” to start the sync
    7. Once the sync is done, sign in with the same Google account on the BLU Dash X, and allow it to sync contacts with your phone

    Via iCloud:

    NOTE: In case you have already previously used iCloud to back up your iPhone data, your contacts should already be backed up on your iCloud account. By accessing the account on a computer connected to the Internet, you can export the contacts as a vCard file.

    1. Open the Internet browser on the computer
    2. Visit https://www.icloud.com/ and sign in with your iCloud account
    3. Access “Contacts”
    4. Select the contacts you want to export
    5. Click “Settings” > “Export vCard”
    6. After the vCard file is downloaded on the PC, use “Google Contacts” to import it on your account
    7. Alternatively, skip the step above and instead, connect the BLU Dash X to your PC via USB, transfer the vCard to the phone storage, and import its contents using the “Contacts” application

    Via “My Contacts Backup”:

    NOTE: While the methods above require access to a computer with an active Internet connection, alternatively you can transfer your contacts using third party applications. My Contacts Backup is an iOS app that can be used to back up and transfer iPhone contacts via email.

    1. Open the App Store and install “My Contacts Backup” on the iPhone
    2. Launch the application
    3. Tap “Backup” and wait for the file to be created
    4. Once done, tap “Email”
    5. Make sure the vCard backup file is attached to the email
    6. Send the email to your own address
    7. Switch to the BLU Dash X and download the email attachment
    8. Import the vCard using the “Contacts” application

    Via “Send Anywhere”:

    NOTE: Send Anywhere is another third party application you can use to transfer your contacts without requiring a computer.

    1. Open the App Store on the iPhone and install “Send Anywhere”
    2. Visit the Play Store and install the same app on the BLU Dash X
    3. Launch the app on both terminals
    4. On the iPhone, tap “Send” > “Contacts”
    5. Select the desired contacts and tap “Send”
    6. Lastly, choose a transfer method. Tap “Generate QR Code” on the iPhone, or “Receive” on the BLU Dash X and follow the on-screen instructions
