Transfer Contacts from Sony Ericsson to iPhone on Mac

I was about to manually transfer my contact from my old Sony Ericsson W810i to iPhone when I came across this easy steps to sync all my contacts to iPhone, within a minute.

First of all, you will have to download Sony Ericsson Sync Plugin for iSync. Since my SE W810i has been phased out for long, I’m using the W910i download page instead. The plugin works the same by the way.

After you’ve downloaded it, install it and load up your iSync under: Applications > iSync

Connect your Sony Ericsson phone to your Mac, browse to Devices > Add Device to add your device, and you should see your phone as shown below:

Double click on your phone and you should see the details as shown below.

Click on Sync Device button and your contacts should be sync to your Mac now.

Next, connect your iPhone to you Mac, opens iTunes and select Info tab and check Sync Address Book Contacts checkbox. In my case, I checked the All contacts radio button to sync all my contacts over.

Hit on the familiar Sync button and all your contacts will be in your iPhone now.

Let me know if it works for your, or not.

  Thank you so much! You are a lifesaver!
  I was going to dump my iPhone for being a dumb machine incapable of civilised communication via Bluetooth.
