transfer mobile contacts from old phone to new phone

Hello I have motorola v525 with many contacts stored to phone. I just
got new phone - motorola slvr and I'd like to transfer all those
contacts from old phone to new phone. Is there software that can help
with this? I've checked motorola's website and I can see their
'backup' service but I'm not sure this is what I need. Any help please?

No particular experience with your phone, but if it's just simple names and
phone numbers, you can usually copy the phone memory to SIM, switch the card
into the new phone and copy it across to the new phone memory. I've done
this with several Nokias and now onto an LG.

(This may not help if you have hundreds of numbers - unless you do them in
chunks - or if you are storing more than Name & Number for each contact.)

Yeah I have hundreds of contacts (work as well as personal, I'm not
that popular! some of which have more than one number and there are
also some that have other information such as address. The phone book
within the v525 and SLVR are the same both being from motorola so I was
hoping there would be something that can help me easily transfer
between the two.

Any other ideas most welcome please.

It's called Motorola Mobile Phone Tools and comes free with higher-end
Motorola phones. If you didn't get it with your phone then you'll have
to buy it, and a cable or bluetooth dongle aswell.

Isn't it actually BVRP Phone Tools?

I have a copy of the Motorola version, and BVRP sent me the full
version to review. The buggers send me an evaluation version which
overwrote the full Motorola one, and timed out a month later.

I stopped using Motorola phones soon after.

The software is indeed made by BVRP, but it's branded as Motorola.
Doesn't really matter in any case.
