-- Friday, October 23, 2015
"I have been trying to figure how to switch my contacts over to my Galaxy S6. I had a Nokia Lumia 520 and I really don't want to manually put my phone book in, but I don't see where they were saved. If you have easy way to transfer contacts from Windows phone to Samsung Galaxy, please let me know."

When changing Windows phone to Android, the two devices based on different operating systems, it is quite difficult to move data. Luckily enough, I have found a professional transfer tool, named Phone Transfer that helps different mobile phones with data transmission.

The program covers the massive tasks in the background so that steps you need to do is simple. It takes a few minutes to complete cloning phone numbers as well as contact's info to the destination phone.
