hi

I am trying to get my contacts back onto my phone (K850i) which recently got replaced by O2.

I have a directory on my PC in App Data\MyPhoneExplorer with model names and an IMEI....in there I see phonebook.dat

Is there a way to get the data from there onto my new 850i - I was wondering do I change the IMEI number in the folder name and away I go.

One thing which probably complicates it is that this is a new install of MyPhoneExpolorer as I have had to rebuild my PC (still have access to the old drives with the files on though - Mobo died)....

Any help appreciated !

It should be no problem copying the phonebook.dat + SMS.dat and so on into the folder of the new phone. But replace all these files.

In future please do it another way to prevent problems:
You can switch the profiles using Menu-File-Users... . Then export the data from the old profile, change the user and import them back. You can find the Import/Export-Menu if you rightclick the list.

Just copying the datafiles could raise problems with the next sync.
