Send phonebook over Bluetooth

[Guest]

Hello everybody

Is there any possibilty to send the whole phonebook (SPV C600) by Bluetooth to any other device? I know it's possible to send a single contact but I can't figure out, how to send all the contacts.

Or is there any third-party application to solve this?

Thanks for your help...

unfortunatley this is not possible, have you tried synchronising your old phone book with outlook on your pc and then synchronising that with your new c600, all the contacts would be put there.

the problem is not to get all the old contacts to my new spv c600. i own a car radio player with bluetooth and phone support. to do a call by using the radio, i have to send the whole phone book to the radio.

and now, i do not like to send contact by contact... :)

if its *.msg then there is a way

that's a good question. i can't really tell you. with t630 from sony ericsson theres no problem. there you could just say, send phonebook over bluetooth.

unfortunately i don't now what file fomat it uses.

what way do you know?

[Guest mini_man]

well the key in this is to get to the format *vcf

*vcf is the common address book file type.

With my oldphone i used to synchronise with windows address book and you could export each contact as *vcf i then put them on the phone and selected them all and sent them via BT.

unfortunatley i dont think you can do this with spvs, and you can only sync with outlook which exports them as .msg so unles you come up with a way of converting msg to vcf then sorry

[Guest]

great idea. you can save a contact in outlook as vcf, that's no problem.

or you can export them to csv and then create vcf files with a macro...

i'll try tomorrow if my car radio accepts a vcf file sent with file manager from spv.

thanks a lot for your help.

will let you know if it works :)

[Guest mini_man]

oh fantastic, are you using outlook xp??

im using an old version which is probably why i cant export it as a vcf

goodluck!!

[Guest]

i'm using outlook 2003 and there it is no problem to save a contact as a .vcf

unfortunately you cannot save all contacts with one command.

and... my car radio doesn't accept the .vcf file sent over bluetooth :)

isn't there really no software to solve this problem?

Hi there,

I think there is a way. I have TomTOm GO500, and was able to send my phone book to it...but only since I got a C600 SPV. I tried this wiv my C500 and M5000 and it wouldnt work. So it is possible, but it is either the bluetooth stack on the phone itself, or the operating system ie WM5. My guess is its the stack that the phone supports.

lets see what format your t630 saves in, send a contact from your old phone to your c600 and post it on here so we can have a look

[Guest]

sorry, for my delay in posting here...

i can't send a contact by bluetooth from my old t630 to my spv c600. the t630 tells "connecting impossible". i have tried with multiple t630's

have you any other suggestion?

if i send a contact by bluetooth to my notebook i tells me "PIM object received" and saves it directly into outlook...

don't know if this helps you in any way...

[Guest mini_man]

can u give us a model number and brand of the device your sending it too raftbone

[Guest]

you mean the car radio, right?

it's a pioneer deh-p70bt. unfortunately i can't find any information in english...

Select-all your outlook contacts, from Action dropdown choose 'forward as vcard'. On the email that appears choose File->save attachments. Save them all in a folder. Copy the folder to the smartphone storage card.

Get Smartexplorer EN from www.binarys.com

Go to the car and use smartexplorer to send all the contact via bluetooth in one go. You select all the items by highlighting the parent and it shows at the top data bar what quantity is selected.
