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.)

    Hi Berkshire_Yorkie ,

    Have a look at THIS application

    You may also go to live.com (existing account) and go to Manage-->Export for Outlook.com and other services. A file will get saved on your PC in .csv format. Once you Factory rest and register with a new MS account .. again go to live.com (new account) and select Import contacts-->Start import-->Other .. and select the downloaded .csv file. Now delete all the contacts that you do not want. Then on your phone go to settings-->email+accounts-->Long press on Microsoft account-->sync ..

    Thanks Farby,

    Got me an SD Card and successfully backed up my contacts.  Now we'll have to wait and see if I can restore them after I've rebuild the phone!!
