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.)

    It is not necessary to copy your contacts to a SIM card.  If your contacts are being synced from your windows phone to your Microsoft Account, you can set up the same Microsoft Account to sync to an Android phone either via the Android outlook app or by just setting up the Microsoft account as an Exchange account on an Android phone (this is what I have done on the Android tablet & phone that I have).

    Ok so I'm forced to share my contacts with Microsoft.

    So stupid. What I hate about this nonsense is that whenever I do something like this I suddenly have all my email contacts listed in my phone even though I don't have their phone numbers and will never ring them anyway.

    I don't want my email contacts in my phone calling list. I doubt anyone does.

    It would be much easier to just enable transfer to sim card like normal phones.

    This just makes me more determined than ever to get rid of my windows phone and never use one again.

    Well done Microsoft.
