| Transfer Contact List From Verizon Backup Assistent to Google Voice! SIMPLE! | bobpiesz | 7/5/09 3:27 PM | I read a couple topics and people were touching on this subject. This is by far the easiest way to transfer your contacts from your verizon phone. All you need is backup assistant. Don't have it? Just download it from "get it now", it's only like |
| Re: Transfer Contact List From Verizon Backup Assistent to Google Voice! SIMPLE! | bobpiesz | 7/5/09 11:33 PM | Did this help anyone? Figured I'd post it because other tutorials require downloading a batch script. This is straight forward. |

| Re: Transfer Contact List From Verizon Backup Assistent to Google Voice! SIMPLE! | bobpiesz | 7/6/09 9:17 PM | Did you make it a .CSV file? Should be like: contact.csv then make sure you select "ALL" for the "SAVE AS TYPE" pull down menu |
| Re: Transfer Contact List From Verizon Backup Assistent to Google Voice! SIMPLE! | compulsiveguile | 7/20/09 9:00 PM | Hmm... that conversion page didn't seem to do the trick. I don't think any of my actual contact info ended up in the converted CSV section. It just said this: "Title","First Name","Middle Name","Last Name","Suffix","Company","Department","Job Title", |
| Re: Transfer Contact List From Verizon Backup Assistent to Google Voice! SIMPLE! | Game4set | 8/4/09 11:55 AM | Wow this actually worked! Thanks a lot! Also guys I think it might help if you make sure there aren't any emails added with your contacts. |
| Re: Transfer Contact List From Verizon Backup Assistent to Google Voice! SIMPLE! | compulsiveguile | 8/4/09 1:00 PM | @Game4set You might be onto something with the whole email thing. I had a few email addresses in mine, and this technique did not work at all. |
| Re: Transfer Contact List From Verizon Backup Assistent to Google Voice! SIMPLE! | wezley | 8/6/09 5:35 PM | This worked for me! I did remove e-mails from the list however. |
| Re: Transfer Contact List From Verizon Backup Assistent to Google Voice! SIMPLE! | verycuteasian | 9/9/09 10:35 PM | does not work for me.... also removed emails, still getting.... |

| Re: Transfer Contact List From Verizon Backup Assistent to Google Voice! SIMPLE! | verycuteasian | 9/10/09 10:54 AM | how did you guys do it.. i keep ketting the code wrong........... |
| Re: Transfer Contact List From Verizon Backup Assistent to Google Voice! SIMPLE! | wpbruce | 10/5/09 8:44 PM | this works. the key is to make sure you use firefox, not safari, when you copy the text from verizon back-up assistant's window. dan schultz's helpful little script looks for tab characters to determine where to insert the commas that give the CSV f |
| Re: Transfer Contact List From Verizon Backup Assistent to Google Voice! SIMPLE! | Brendanec | 10/16/09 10:50 AM | This was great, except for your added note which I had to delete from the CSV file. No one likes Spam :) |
| Re: Transfer Contact List From Verizon Backup Assistent to Google Voice! SIMPLE! | troyconquer | 10/19/09 7:37 PM | This worked perfectly for me. I was getting pissy with import for about 30 minutes before I found this. |
| Re: Transfer Contact List From Verizon Backup Assistent to Google Voice! SIMPLE! | jcjenk | 10/28/09 4:56 PM | Had the same problem using IE. Switched to Firefox and it worked pretty good. Cut out a few first names and put the phone number in instead but was easier to fix then hand typing all my contacts. THANKS! |
| Re: Transfer Contact List From Verizon Backup Assistent to Google Voice! SIMPLE! | cmills93 | 11/6/09 9:22 AM | Worked great! Thanks! |
| Re: Transfer Contact List From Verizon Backup Assistent to Google Voice! SIMPLE! | flippedcracker | 11/18/09 6:24 PM | thank you so much. i spent half an hour trying to figure it out. all i had to do was export as csv and then import and everything was there. much easier. |
| Re: Transfer Contact List From Verizon Backup Assistent to Google Voice! SIMPLE! | jrclockelf | 11/19/09 9:27 PM | When I did this there was an "export" choice in my Verizon online backup assistant - I simply chose "export as .csv" and saved the file to my desktop, then imported it to GV. Couldn't have been easier. |
| Re: Transfer Contact List From Verizon Backup Assistent to Google Voice! SIMPLE! | petertcrowell | 12/1/09 4:25 PM | How about going from gmail contacts to verizon contact backup? can that be done? |
| Re: Transfer Contact List From Verizon Backup Assistent to Google Voice! SIMPLE! | znoors | 12/4/09 1:05 PM | Somehow, the idea of pasting my entire address book into a field on a website I know nothing about and then pressing submit makes me feel a little uncomfortable. I have no reason not to trust http://danshultz.com, but no reason to assume my privacy is being |
| Re: Transfer Contact List From Verizon Backup Assistent to Google Voice! SIMPLE! | jkhh07 | 2/10/10 8:44 AM | Verizon now has "export to csv" option. And this is what user bobpies is doing. |
| Re: Transfer Contact List From Verizon Backup Assistent to Google Voice! SIMPLE! | sillyleisl | 4/22/10 10:47 PM | Here's an easy way to import your files to the Eris (and prob all other Droids and/or smartphones) from Verizon's Backup Assistant. It took me a while to piece together this info b/c it's my first smartphone and I'm not that computer savvy. The KIS |
| Re: Transfer Contact List From Verizon Backup Assistent to Google Voice! SIMPLE! | Box7184 | 4/23/10 8:01 AM | You don't need a gmail account, to import your contacts to GV. Just log in to your GV account, click contacts on the left side of the screen. Then follow the rest of the instructions. |
| Re: Transfer Contact List From Verizon Backup Assistent to Google Voice! SIMPLE! | wk21030 | 2/7/11 1:41 PM | well the gmail account IS you GV account so you don't need to create one. thankfully VZW has that option now. Only if it'd show ALL my contacts. UGH |
