Importing contacts from CSV - Motorola Q Forum

mspence · 04-30-2007, 11:56 AM

I just got a Q yesterday and Alltel could not import my phonebook from my V262, so they emailed me the phonebook as a CSV. Any ideas on how I can import this to my contact's list on the Q? I am trying to import them in outlook and then sync, but Outlook in not capturing all the data in the csv file. Thank you.

did not try this but export a few contacts from Outlook -> CVS file and see what fields it uses, maybe then you can alter your contact file and import it.

hope this helps...

I was able to map fields in in the csv file to the fields in outlook by checking the advanced option. This is pretty much what you are suggesting, so thanks. I now have my contacts in my Q.
