    2. Launch iTunes on the computer and go to “Info

    5. Sign in with your Google account, or click “Configure” and select an existing account
    6. Click “Apply” to start the sync
    7. After the sync is complete, switch to the Alcatel device and sign in with the same Google account used in iTunes
    8. Allow the account to sync contacts with your Android phone

    NOTE: If your iPhone contacts have been backed up to your iCloud account, you can access the account on a computer with Internet access and export the contacts in vCard format for Android use.

    2. Launch the app and tap “Backup

    5. Switch to the Alcatel device and open the email
    6. Download the attached vCard and import it using “Contacts

    Using “Send Anywhere”:

    NOTE: Another third party app you can use for Android and iOS is Send Anywhere. The app uses a peer-2-peer connection to transfer contacts and other file types, cross platform ,without requiring a computer.

    1. Go to the App Store and install “Send Anywhere” on the iPhone
    2. From the Google Play Store, install the same app on the Alcatel device
    3. Launch the app on both smartphones
    4. Tap “Send” > “Contacts” on the iPhone
    5. Select the contact you want to share and tap “Send
    6. Lastly, select the desired transfer method, such as “Receive” on the Android device and “Generate QR Code” on the iPhone, and follow the on-screen steps to complete the process
