For several years I’ve had my own domain and I’ve used the iPhone email program and Microsoft Outlook on my PC. Just recently I started using G Mail on both my phone and PC. Two questions:

1. Is it possible to move all my contacts to G Mail?

2. I can add contacts into G Mail on my PC, but not on phone. Not possible?

Thx.

- yes. (Make backups)  
Export your contacts, import them into Gmail.
- yes, you need to tell your phone you want to access the Gmail contacts in “accounts”  
(Again: make backups)
