Automatic Method

This method has to deal with

Synchronizing: Using this you are required to signup for a google account(GMAIL) in which you would have to link it with your phone by going to your Andriod Phone Settings by selecting "Add Account" and follow the instructions on the next screen to get it activated. With this your phone contact will be added to Google Account automatically through automatic synchronization.

To be sure your contacts has been automatically backed up, Login to your google account >> Click on Menu >> Select contacts

you will see the list of contacts which have being saved in your google account and it is safe and secure.

Manual Method

This method is unlike the automatic method, in this method it involves moving your phone contacts to and external source/storage outside your smartphone internal storage and it is time consuming.

This method requires the use of External storage Such as your Memory Card which is also known as SD Card.

Follow the steps below:
