Merging remote contacts

[spudbynight]

Over the last few years I have had phones running Android, OSX and Windows Phone. I have ended up with contacts spread across Google, Apple and Windows Phone/Exchange.

I am running an Android phone at the moment. Does anyone know the best way for me to consolidate all my contacts and then save them to Google?

For Apple, on iCloud, under the contacts page there's an option to export your contacts as a vCard file on the bottom left of the page.

For Windows, assuming it's tied to your Microsoft account, on Peoples, click "Manage" on the top bar and click export to export your contacts to a vCard file.

And then for Android, in Google contacts, on the left side of the page is an option to import contacts. Pick the two vCard files you exported from the other two services and this will import them over to Google contacts. There's also an option under "More..." to find and merge any duplicates you may have.

Not sure about Windows but I know with iPhones you can also use your Google contacts list instead of iCloud and sync to that instead.

Cool - will try and fix this.
