Mobile phone

I have a replacement LG : Tracfone LG  328BG and the carrier is Safelink.  The old phone is a Samsung and when I power on, it says a Service of Tracfone Wireless. The old phone's carrier is also Safelink.
On the old Phone, I have lots of contact numbers, and is there an easy way of tranferring these numbers to my new Tracfone LG 328BG? Thank u.

Maybe get a trial copy of Companionlink, move the contacts to Outlook and then to the new phone.

Your provider service includes transfer of your old phones data to your new phone so just take them to their service / sales shop.

In response to Michael-Best, Safelink says that there is no way they can do it, and thus my quest to see if there is an IT solution to this.
You need to try a way to sync to a computer. Companionlink is one such way.

What is built into Windows and Claims to work with all phones is called "phone companion". Type that into you start menu and try the app.
The old phone is a Samsung and when I power on, it says a Service of Tracfone Wireless.

Can you take a photo when the Samsung phone is powered on with menu shown on LCD screen?
You could probably find an answer if you would supply us with the exact model number of the Samsung...... without that everyone is just guessing.
in response to LockDown32, sorry for being so ignorant, but how do I find out what is the model number, where do I look for it. Thank u.
Look in Settings. There should be About, or General, About that will give you this information
thank u for the solutions. regards.
You are very welcome and I was happy to help
