Samsung Tracfone -- transfering data to new phone

What is the best, and least expensive, way to transfer contacts and pictures from one Tracfone to another Tracfone?  I need to transfer data from a Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime to the Samsung Galaxy J7 Sky Pro.  

 

Reference Manual for Sky Pro says to go to samsungsmartswitch.com, but all I see is ads.  An internet search found "FoneCopy" from Aiseesoft Studio.  I installed that (free), but is a trial version, and only transfers 30 contacts.  Also found an app from Wondershare, also a trial version.  The full version costs $39.95.

 

I really do not want to have to rekey all contacts or lose pictures.  

 

There must be something available that does not cost a lot.  Thanks for any assistance!

There is a free app,  Wizard, offered. I used it and it worked perfectly.

I think you will have better luck using the app instead of the website.  Samsung Smart Mobile Switch is the name of it.

 
You can download the app from Google Play.

Bluetooth.

 

First pair your phones together.

 

Go to your conacts. Somewhere on there it should say share. After you tap share you should be able to check off all contacts. Then when it asks how to share you choose bluetooth and pick the phone you want to send them to.

 

Same goes for pictures or music.

 

I'd give you step by tep but I'm not sure exactly what it would look like on your phone but I can help if you have any questions.

Use the transfer wizard.  It's instantaneous and will also transfer your apps.
