Verizon Content Transfer
verizon.com
What it is
Verizon Content Transfer moves personal data from an old phone to a new one. It transfers contacts, photos, videos, calendars, call logs, and audio between Android and iPhone devices. Pairing uses a QR code, and Verizon’s Android instructions require Wi-Fi on both phones. Transfers are described as end-to-end encrypted, with data encrypted in transit. The app reports progress in real time and can resume an interrupted transfer. Contacts and media already backed up to a cloud service are not moved by this process; they must be restored through that service. Android instructions direct users to the Play Store when the app is not already installed. The iPhone listing requires iOS 15.0 or later, and the iPad listing requires iPadOS 15.0 or later. Verizon lists a free plan with download from the App Store and no wires, accounts, or cloud required. The pricing note states paid plans from $3.99/mo and a 15-day trial, while the free-trial field says no.
