  10. Download the attached VCF file
  11. Launch the "Contacts" app and press "Menu"
  12. Tap "Import / Export" > "import from SD card" / "[…] storage"

  2. Launch the app on both devices
  3. On the HTC smartphone, tap "Send" > "Contacts"
  4. Mark the contacts you wish to transfer and tap "Send"
  5. Select the desired method of contact transfer. You can tap "Generate QR Code" on the Desire 600 and scan the code with the S4 VE's camera to commence the transfer. As an alternative, tap "Receive" on the Samsung device, and enter the randomly generated transfer code from the HTC smartphone
