Just sync them with Google and you can access your contacts with any computer

I wish you the best of luck. I have been trying to put my contacts from phone to PC for ages, i can not do it and i have had no constructive advice either. I have tried the Google sync thing and have got nowhere at all , just wasted lots of time ,also when i view my phone contacts i only see an option to save contacts to phone memory or to sim card , both of which are of no use at all if you loose your phone.I just can not work out why it is so hard to save contact to a PC. Even using Sony PC companion all they talk about is transfering contacts from phone to phone, nothing about saving contacts to the PC. I swear it is quicker just to use a good old fasioned pen and paper and manually write down your numbers to save them , ridiculous really . I confess i am bamboozled by it all. I wish you luck.

You can search a call MobiKin Assistant for Android software, it can directly transfer all kinds of data from Android phone to computer or Mac. You can have a try.

Well i tried Uliwoolys links,, this info does not include for a Sony Z3 and also the other information does not apply.. ie when i select all contacts there is no option to send to an email address , only an option to send to internal memory or sd card..

so i tried the Moibikin assistant, i downloaded it,, the software does not say that my phone is connected , even though i did exactlly what was asked. So yet again i find myself back at square one and non the wiser.

Just to add , also when i try to load the updated version of Mobikin an error occurs.

Just select internal storage or SD card then look for the file and email it

Well i have tried that Uliwooly , i have tried to send contacts from sd card to google email but i keep on getting problems.. the file is not supported and i should convert the contacts to another type of file, which of course i can not do. Also when i have synched my phone information to google mail , when it comes to opening the contacts , i tried all sorts and then end up opening some page of contacts on Microsoft word, which of course my contacts are not there.

I normally copy anything i want to my sd card, and then drag and drop once i connect my phone to my laptop.
If you don't do it this way, then you'll need to use the sony program that you'll need to install on your pc/laptop.
