Intro

Merge Contact is a FREE application created by Eigo Ltd for Android devices; for copying the phone number from a Phone contact to a Google contact and optionally delete the Phone contact.

Background

When using an Android device you can associate it with a Google account which makes all your Google contacts available on the phone. If you have created Phone contacts or bulk copied all your SIM contacts to the phone as Phone contacts then you may find that you have duplicates where you have the same person as a Phone contact and as a Google contact.

There is no built in way of transferring the phone number of Phone contact to a selected Google and deleting the Phone contact. This can be done manually by copy and pasting the phone number then deleting the contact but for many contacts this could take a long time.

This FREE application allows you to do this quickly and easily by just selecting contacts form a list and clicking a button.

Instructions

Follow these instructions to use the application:

1. Open the application, you will see a list of all Google and Phone contacts in alphabetical order.
2. Scroll the list and indentify a Phone contact and a Google contact that are the same contact.
3. Click on each contact, the names will be update at the bottom of the screen so you can see which Phone contact is being merged in to which Google contact.
4. Click the [Merge] button.
5. The confirmation dialog will describe what this merge will do, click [Confirm] to perform the merge, otherwise click [Cancel] to cancel the operation.

To change the delete Phone contact settings:

1. Click the [Menu] soft key button on your device.
2. Tap on the [Settings] menu option.
3. The setting menu will be displayed, check the checkbox if you want to automatically delete the Phone contact after a successful merge, uncheck the checkbox to leave the Phone contact after merge.
