How do you transfer your contact list from a broken phone to another phone for Verizon?

Answer 1

You don't. Unless you register with Verizon Online ahead of time and enter your contacts into your online account, or pay $2 per month to back up your contact list there is no way to transfer the list from one phone to the next. Verizon will do this if you upgrade your phone or break your phone and it can still be turned on (broken screen or that type of problem.) If the phone won't power up ... you lose your contact list and pictures. It seems weird that Verizon cannot do this ... but it has been my experience that Verizon customer service is only slightly better to that found at the DMV. I hate going to Verizon or calling Verizon because it is almost impossible to get anything done, several Verizon employees will give you different answers to the same question and the employees seem to all be high school drop outs who would rather be anywhere else than talking to you. So, after re-entering the contacts you can find, make sure to go on verizon's website and update your contacts so it doesn't happen again. Incidentally, I find it incredibly unfair that you lose all the ringtones you bought when you switch phones and will have to pay to re-download all the same ringtones that were on your other phone.
