Transferring All Your Contacts from a Nokia Phone to a Google Account for Use on an Android Phone
If you’re moving from a Nokia mobile phone to an Android phone, or perhaps you simply want to import all of your contacts into your Google account, you may find that the Nokia Ovi Suite only lets you import all your contacts as individual .vcf files. Google doesn’t currently allow you to import multiple files at once, so unless you want to import them one-by-one you need this little tip:
- Open a command prompt (Win+R then type cmd)
- Change directory to the one where you’ve saved your many .vcf files (type cd then the directory structure)
- Type: copy /B *.vcf all_in_one.vcf
Voilà! You now have one big VCF file which will zip up to your Google account in no time 🙂
I am finding that only approx. 250 vcf contacts get combined into the all_in_one.vcf file out of a total of approx. 480. The first 50 also don’t get included in the all_in_one file. I dare say there is a simple explanation for this probably something like Im doing something wrong!!! Highly probable. Would appreciate ur help please.
Great trick!
Thank you very much!
wow wow wow…you are the best dude.
you solved my big prob in few seconds.

Paul Freeman-Powell take my respect!
Really simple and even more effective. Thank you!!!!
Great thanks a lot
I’ll try it thank you!!!!
Thanks!
this worked great, very useful tip. thanks
Thank you for sharing this knowledge in a blogpost, it was a pain in the balls importing each VCF individually. Google should allow import of multiple files.
Neat trick ! Thank you !
Tried this but after importing, it shows only one contact that is the first contact on the previous list. :'(
