Hi,

After signing in on the phone, you will be able to sync contacts to and from Windows Live. Any time you add a contact to your phone, you can store it on Windows Live. Plus, any contacts imported from a SIM card are backed up too. You can manage contacts on Windows Live contacts from their PC at contacts.live.com.

Thanks for your contribution to the forums!

Are your contacts not at contacts.live.com where you can sync them with any 'phone that lets you set up a Hotmail account? (Certainly any Android 'phone or iPhone - or, worst case, any 'phone with a browser should let you view them.)

    What if i don't want to be tied down to windows anymore. Having battled with my wp for a while, i can safely say i won't be buying their products again so have upgraded to an Apple iPhone. How am i meant to transfer contacts other than typing them in one by one. Windows have really shot themselves in the foot here by not allowing contacts to be saved to sim. Android do it, Apple do it, why Windows feel they need to be elitist is beyond me. I guess its just their whole microsoft orientated ethos. You have to have a hotmail account to use their app store, you can only use Bing as a defaults browser. Its just so narrow minded!

    Just go sync the iPhone to the same Microsoft account that you used on your windows phone.  All the contacts and appointments that are stored there will be synced to your new phone.

    Go read the article I posted to my blog, entitled "Use Outlook.com as a Data Repository for your Contacts, Calendars and Tasks.  At the end of that article I included a link that explains everything you need to know to sync an iPhone to Outlook.com.
