How to Generate VCF Files for Phone Numbers and Import Them to Your Phone's Contacts
Generating a VCF (vCard) file containing phone numbers and importing them to your phone's contacts can be done in two simple ways. Let's learn how to do it.
To generate a VCF file with phone numbers, follow these steps:
Step 1: Prepare contact information
First, gather the contact information you want to include in the VCF file, such as name and phone number.
Step 2: Compose the VCF file content
Using a text editor, create a new file and enter the following content:
BEGIN:VCARD
VERSION:3.0
N:Last Name;First Name;;;
FN:Full Name
TEL;TYPE=CELL:Phone Number
END:VCARD
Replace "Full Name" with the actual name of the contact, e.g., "John Doe," and "Phone Number" with the actual phone number.
Step 3: Save the file
Save the file with a .vcf extension (e.g., "JohnDoePhoneNumber.vcf"), making sure to select "All Files" as the file type. This ensures that the file is saved as plain text.
Step 4: Import the VCF file to your phone
Send the VCF file to your phone and open it using the phone's contact function.
The second method involves using a tool to convert the format to VCF, providing a quick way to obtain the desired file. The process is also straightforward.
Step 1: Create an Excel file
On your computer, create an Excel file with the first column containing names and the second column containing phone numbers. Save the Excel document.
Step 2: Convert Excel to VCF file
Use an online tool that converts Excel files to VCF format. This tool will help you quickly accomplish the task.
Step 3: Download and send the VCF file to your phone
Download the VCF file to your computer and send it to your phone. Open it using the phone's contact function.
Note: Please be aware that specific steps may vary depending on the device, application, or operating system you are using.
