    I've upgraded to a new Android phone that comes with a new micro SIM.

    My old Windows Lumia phone uses the larger SIM format, so whats best way to transfer data across?

    I'm guessing Bluetooth would suffice?

    If the Windows phone (never owned one) can sync with Google contacts, do that. You will have all your contacts up in Google services and immediately available on any android device you will ever own.

    Doesn't seem to have that unfortunately. Pretty crappy apps tbh.

    LE: if you ever used things like Hotmail and Skype you probably already have a Live account (that includes Outlook)

    If there's an option in Windows phone to export contacts to a VCF file, you can import that VCF file into Android contacts.
