Backup contacts??

vectra

My mother has a pre historic nokia phone with full size sim.
She is on the 3 network

I have bought her a Vodafone smart ultra 6 which I am going to get unlocked and put her on the tesco €15 plan

My question is, How do I go about backing up her contacts to put on the new nano sim?
Thanks

Go into a phone shop and theyll swap the contacts over to the new sim.

Then the phone will back up automatically

I am not sure if 3 would be happy backing up contacts to a Tesco mobile sim??

Doubt they'd care.. Similar to getting your phone unlocked at the end of a contract.. Just part of their service..

Could they back them up to a pen drive for me I wonder?

Copy contacts to old sim from the phone, go into contact settings in the Nokia then get someone in tesco to copy the old sim to the new sim.
When you've the new sim with the contacts on it in the new phone copy the contacts to her google account on the new phone, that way if she ever looses the new phone or deletes anything it'll all be backed up to google.
Just be aware with tesco you can't get credit everywhere also if the phone needs to be repaired it'll be relocked to Vodafone and you'll need to unlock it again.
Tbh buy your mam a a phone on which ever network she's going on and not necessarily the cheapest one..

@ drunkenmonkey
The problem is I am nowhere near a tesco with that facility.

I wouldnt be worried about having to re unlock the phone after any repair.

Might drop into the 3 shop later and ask them if they can back them up for me.
