Sully, I had a similar problem with my local Telstra shop. I wanted to transfer my old data/contacts etc to my new phone. The so called expert techo, spent 15 minutes and said, "I can't do it, they have different Bluetooth and are not compatible and I will need to redo all my contacts etc yourself".

I went home and through settings, I found that my old phone allowed me to "export" my old data onto an SD card and then "import" onto my new phone. Problem solved and it only took 5 minutes, for an old fart!

Apparently, you can download an "app" that will do the same, depending on the brand of phone.

Exactly what I did not that long ago BC. The Telstra tech gave me the heads up about it.

By far the easiest solution, which I used on my last couple of "upgrades".

I had a Samsung 9 and bought a Samsung 24 , allowed me to place both side by side and had a app that just transferred all my data fron one tio the other, no problems.

My phone just underwent an update - with all the increased crap it thinks I need to have I really wish there was a "@#$% off" button to push.
