Using the "Contacts" App to Transfer Contacts:

  6. Make sure you recall the file's name and tap "OK"
  7. Launch the desired email client on your Galaxy Star
  8. Compose a new email and attach the exported VCF file to it
  9. Enter your own Gmail address as the recipient, and send the email
  10. On the Galaxy Star 2, open the email and download the attached VCF file
  11. Next, launch the "Contacts" app and tap "Menu" > "Import / Export" > "Import from SD card" or "Import from storage"

NOTE: after the file has been exported from the Galaxy Star's phonebook, you can transfer the file to the Galaxy Star 2 by connecting both smartphones to your computer via USB, and manually copy > pasting the file to the Star 2's "sdcard" directory

Transferring Contacts via "Send Anywhere":

Send Anywhere is a third party application that works on both iOS and Android. The app can be used to transfer contacts and various other types of files from one phone to another, even cross-platform. It uses a peer-2-peer connection, so you don't need access to a computer in order to perform this method of transfer:

  1. Launch the Google Play Store and install "Send Anywhere" on both smartphones
  2. Open the application once has been installed
  3. On the Galaxy Star, tap "Send" > "Contacts"
  4. Mark the contacts that you want to share and tap "Send"
  5. Lastly, choose a method of contact transfer. You can tap "Receive" on the Galaxy Star 2 and enter the randomly generated transfer code from the Galaxy Star in order to commence the transfer. You can also tap "Generate QR Code" on the Star, and then scan the code with the Star 2's camera to begin the transfer
