Contacts backup? (self.askandroid)

submitted 8 months ago by Outtatime to c/[email protected]

I'm basically looking for an app that takes my contacts information (all my friend's phone numbers, etc) and puts it into a text file. I like to have my contacts on a piece of paper just in case I need numbers and my phone isn't available. Any suggestions?

I don't know which phone you have but you can simply export your contacts to a vcf file.

That files can then be imported elsewhere. You can also open it with a text editor and print it out. It should still be human readable.
