Verizon Content Transfer
New York City, New York, USA
What it is
Verizon Content Transfer moves personal information from an old phone to a new one, including contacts, photos, videos, calendars, call logs, and audio. It supports Android and iOS and is described as working between iPhone and Android devices. The phones pair by scanning a QR code. Verizon's Android instructions say Wi-Fi must be enabled on both phones and that users can download the app from the Play Store if it is not already installed. The app displays transfer progress in real time and can resume a transfer that is interrupted. Transfers are described as end-to-end encrypted, with data encrypted in transit. One limitation is that contacts and media already backed up to a cloud service are not moved by this transfer process; they must be restored through that service. The free plan is listed as free. Listed paid pricing is $3.99/mo, and the pricing note also states a 15-day trial, although the free-trial field says no. The iPhone listing requires iOS 15.0 or later, while the iPad listing requires iPadOS 15.0 or later.
