[BitPim-user] Switching phones

[Robert P. <bo...@pe...>]

I have not done this before but I am on the verge of switching vendors and getting a new phone.  Is there any way to transfer the information from your old phone to the new?  This would be above and beyond what the phone vendors can do.

Have you discussed this with the new vendor? I've never found one that couldn't transfer most, if not all contact information between instruments.

I don't think you have to contact your vendor. Just set both
devices to talk through the bluetooth interface. Then you walk
through the options, you'll find an option to send the contact
list. I've done it once between a GSM and a CDMA phones and
everything went well.

I was thinking of the custom ringtones I created.  I don't know if the vendor transfers those.  He may.

Actually, as I think about it, not having used bit-pim in a while, it ought to be possible to export those tones and import them back into the other phone.  After all, I got them in there somehow in the first place.

I don't know in your phone, but in mine the ring tones are just mp3
files that you should be able to transfer them like other files such as
the pictures. Think of the phone as a mass storage device. However in
VERY old phones (sprint samsungs?), the storage of some files is hidden
and cannot be accessed as if they where on a computer disk, but
hopefully that is not your case.
