How can I convert Excel to VCF that works with older phones or feature phones (e.g., Nokia)?

You need to convert your Excel file to VCF format if you want to move your contacts from an older phone or feature phone like a Nokia device. Older phones were unable to open Excel files directly, but they can read contacts from VCF (vCard) files.

To do this, follow these steps-

• First, check that your Excel file has the right columns, such as Name, Phone Number, and Email (if you have one).
• You have to convert this Excel file to VCF format because old phones can only read contacts that are in .vcf files.
• You can copy the VCF file to your phone using USB or Bluetooth once it is ready. Then, you can add contacts from it.

A lot of individuals have trouble with this step because Excel does not have a straight Save as VCF option. So, to make things easier, you may use an easy application which converts your Excel contacts into VCF files without making any errors.

The DataVare Excel to VCF Converter is one such useful tool. A lot of people trust this software to convert contact information in Excel files to vCard format. You can convert excel (.xlsx) files to vCard with the original formatting. It lets you-

• Quickly load Excel files (.xls or .xlsx).
• Easily map Excel columns to vCard fields.
• Make VCF files that work with older phones, like Nokia.
• Export all contacts in one or multiple VCF files.

This saves time and keeps you from having to do things like manually converting or coding.
