Transfer contacts (phone numbers and email address) from Android phone?

[Kevinaldo]

Hi, ipad2 is my first apple product and wonder how to transfer contacts (phone numbers and email address) from Android phone?

Also setting up yahoo email account in ipad2, how do you create or combine the contact so you can input in Contacts?

thanks,
apple newbie

You can do it with a gmail account. If you don't have one..create one. That will allow you to pull up your contacts and calendar on your android phone, pc or iPad.

The best way is setup your email as exchange server.

follow the instruction on this link.

This is how I have my iPad 2 setup and I use a droid phone as well. Works great!

Thank you simple and sweet!

Glad I was able to point you to right place. I tell you, I get the emails in the iPad before they even get to my droid. Works great to me!

How do I check to see if my gmail account was setup this way? I have gmail on my iPad but I'm unsure if it was setup using the exchange server. My emails get to my android phone before hitting my iPad.

Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Exchages if you see a setup/account in there it will have your gmail account then you have exchange setup.

Then you can set up your gmail account as an exchange account.
