    Have a myTouch 3G Slide, about to get a new iPhone and was wondering how I will be able to transfer all my contacts. I'm going from T-Mobile to AT&T.

    You're Mexican right?

    You just spray paint your old contacts on the back of your new phone.

    Backup all of your contacts in Google/Gmail with your current phone and when you get your new iPhone, you can import your contacts using Google once again.

    Easy peasy (for us nerds anyways)...FAMS.

    You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to HCP again.

    Ask the dude selling you the new phone to transfer them for you. Quicker than screwing with it yourself.

    I'm not sure if they will do that considering he is switching providers. It's totally worth a try, though.

    I'd recommend backing them up through Google anyways. It's a reassuring thing to know if you phone is ever lost/broken/stolen you still have all of your contacts intact.

    It worked the last two times for me. Sprint-->Verizon and Verizon-->AT&T. But it may be hit or miss, I don't know. Maybe my sad puppy dog eyes convinced them I needed help.

    Probably good advice.

    It shouldn't take that long to copy the one contact.

    Does the AT&T store have the ability to do this?
