Which method are Verizon users backing up their contacts ?

[Scott111]

I know Verizon has a app called backup assistant and another one called backup assistant according to the app store the cloud one seems like the most popular. So is that what most users are using really ? All I want to do is backup my contacts that so when I get a new phone I can upload the contacts in the new phone. Is any backup app already installed ? I have a LG G2 phone by the way. Thanks

I save my contacts via my Google account. When I sign into the new phone, it automatically syncs them.

My guess would be that for people on this site, contacts would be synced with their Google accounts.

I export my contacts to my internal storage, then copy the cvf file to my external hard drive. I don't want my contacts in the cloud.

When you sign in with your Google account, I think one of the options is to sync contacts. Also, go into the phone settings and look at the sync options. Click your Google account, and there should be a check box for contacts a along with the other options like your email, calendar, etc.

You can clean them up on the web too.
