Sony's migration wizard, called Xperia Transfer™,
helps reduce the barriers that consumers face when
moving the content (contacts, photos, video clips,
messages, music and more) from their old phone to
their new Xperia® smartphone and is part of the latest
versions of the PC Companion and Bridge for Mac
software.
If you are a PC user, use the PC Companion program
to transfer your contacts. It's free, and the installation
files are already saved on your new device. PC
Companion also offers a range of other features,
including help to update your device software. For

Mac application is available to help you transfer your
contacts. It's also free and downloadable from
