Before transferring them into Outlook you need to Export (I board to create in your document a files MyContacts ): Search CONTACTS > > Top right EXPORT > > vCards ( dossiers.vcf )> > Record or you can find them easily ( eg new folder MyContacts). Open Outlook> > lower left CONTACTS ( normally empty). Slide All Contacts converted.vcf on the part contact Outlook. Here you can edit them by double clicking and / or making groups by CATEGORIES (right click on category and define a color you rename )
Replace these contacts in the phone. Can chance that you 're gone from an iphone to another which is not a smartphone , in my case the Meizu M8 is under Windows CE ( I also test with the HTC HD Monday) but it is likely that other have system Sync of this kind. In connection device synchronization wizard asks you to sync your contacts Windows via Outllook (AC is great ) and the first sync your contacts can be found on the phone. (to reassure you that you can make a "Copy directory telephone on the sim). Contact management is done and via Outlook Contacts which have easier with a real keyboard and a Big Screen ( flat preferably ) , then it syncs.
