How can I transfer contacts to my Lumia 735?

[jonclyde]

I just started using my Lumia 735.  Sadly VZ Cloud is supported for the Lumia 735.  I have many contacts accumulated over the past 20 years that are stored in VZ cloud with no way to transfer them to the Lumia.  Any suggestions.

Having access to your contacts is a critical part of enjoying your wireless device, jonclyde. I'm confident that together we can get your contacts transfer using an alternative method. Do you have access to a computer? If so then the contacts can be exported in a .csv file. Do you have an Outlook email setup on your device?

I would suggest that you export the contacts out of the Verizon Cloud and import them into your Microsoft account or Gmail account. Then you will easily be able to switch from a Windows phone to and Android device to an Apple device and back again with ease. I have kept my contacts in an email account since 2009 and I have not lost a single one since even though I have used multiple devices since.
