My Motoe5 play is not hugely user friendly in that it seems to expect

It worth having it ties to *a* google account, even if not one you use
for other stuff, since it can then do a bunch of stuff that is
genuinely useful and worth having.

One you have contacts backed up on an account, its much easier to go to
contacts.google.com on a computer and edit them there than on the
phone. Same as "messages for web" makes it much easier to send and read
SMS on the computer.

Tempting to go out and buy a cheap basic 4g phone from Tesco.

Import from SIM is a standard part of the contacts app, if you go to
settings on the menu.

Umm.. I've taken the sim out now.

Going through the above instructions got me to an offer to download from
a .vcf but nothing on a sim. I suppose the phone knows I don't have one
plugged in!

Shunting these things about from generations of phones with different
sized sims is a pain.

Thanks but I'm heading for bed.
