Samsung phones are a popular choice for many users due to their reliability, ease of use, and versatile features. One key aspect is managing contacts, which many users need to transfer or add. Kies, Samsung's official software for syncing data, is an excellent tool for transferring contacts from your PC to your Samsung phone. However, it's important to note that Samsung Kies now only supports older Samsung phone models, and newer models may not be compatible with the software.
In this article, we'll explore how to add contacts to a Samsung with Kies and Kies alternatives.
Kies allows you to manually add contacts from your PC to your Samsung phone. This manual method is useful for adding a few contacts at a time, but it may not be ideal if you need to import a large number of contacts.
Here's a simple step-by-step guide to help you through the process:
Step 1. Download and install the Samsung Kies software from the official Samsung website. Once installed, launch the program on your computer.
Step 2. Use a USB cable to connect your Samsung phone to your computer. Ensure that Kies detects your phone successfully.
Step 3. Once your phone is connected, click on the "Contacts" tab in the Kies interface. This will display all your existing contacts.
Step 4. Click the circled "+" button from the picture below to add new contacts to your phone. You can enter and modify the contact name, email address, group, and other information of the contact. After that, just click the "Save to device" button to save them.
If you have a lot of contacts saved in a VCF (vCard) file, Kies provides an easy way to import them to your Samsung phone. Here is how it works:
Step 1. Ensure that the VCF file containing your contacts is saved on your computer.
Step 2. Launch Kies and connect your Samsung phone via USB or Wi-Fi. Make sure Kies detects your device.
Step 3. In the Kies interface, go to the "Contacts" section. Just click the button "Open contact file" from the menu and load the contact data from the computer. Kies will automatically parse the contacts from the VCF file and add them to your phone.
Step 4. After the import process is complete, sync your phone to ensure the contacts are transferred successfully.
