NOTE: After you have created the vCard file on the Galaxy SIII, you can transfer it to the Grand Prime by connecting both smartphones to your computer via USB, and copy > pasting the file from one phone's storage to the other. Then, the file's contents can be imported via the "Contacts" app, as explained above

Using "Send Anywhere":

NOTE: Last but not least you can use various third party applications such as "Send Anywhere" in order to transfer your contacts from one phone to another. Send Anywhere is an app that can send various types of files and contacts via a P2P connection.

  5. Lastly, select the desired method of transfer. Tapping "Generate QR Code" on the Galaxy SIII allows you to create a QR Code that can be scanned with the Grand Prime's camera to commence the transfer. Alternatively, you can tap "Receive" on the Prime, and enter the randomly generated transfer code from the SGSIII
