  2. This process is too cumbersome. The easiest way is just to open your contacts, click on the menu on the top right of your phone screen, then click import/export, then select export from phone or sim depending where the contacts are saved, the next window, select Google account, then click continue. That's all. Any phone you login in your Google account, all the contacts will display
