Manually restoring contact list from an app’s backup file to my phone? Possible?

[Gonzo100100]

I have an issue with my phone (Galaxy A20e) connecting to the internet. At some point I did a reset to the factory settings. However, as said above I couldn’t connect to the internet so I couldn’t perform a backup using google so I downloaded an app called MobiKin Backup Manager for Android (Windows Version) and I naively used it. The app allows me to backup but to restore I need to pay up for the licence. (You may have a different opinion but I still consider it deceitful practice).

If I only need my contacts (I found Contacts-20220418193158.xml file in the app’s backup folder) can I restore them manually somehow using the file or the only way is to pay for the license (basically a ransom)?

Thank you for your answers. I haven’t been active here because rewriting over 100 contacts is something I am NOT looking for. Unfortunately, I don’t have another backup file from earlier and that would be really good. I also am able to just open the file with Microsoft Excel and the contacts are listed there.

I was really tempted to just pay up the $20 and be done with it but I don’t want to support the developers of that app even if I’ll have to rewrite all of those contacts.



However, to make things easier. I hoped to use Phone Link app. The app doesn’t have a feature to create contacts however I can cast screen of my other phone (Samsung Galaxy S9) to my computer screen and I can control that phone with my mouse and keyboard. That way I can just copy and paste information quickly. Unfortunately, it seems that the app doesn’t support casting of the screen on my older phone which is the subject of this thread (Galaxy A20e).

So, my question is if you know of any sort of phone or contact manager that would allow me to add the contacts from my computer to the phone?

I believe that being able to do it this way it would take me 1 or 2 hours to bring back all the contacts instead of all day if I had to do it actually in the phone.
