What this site is

phone-to-phone.com reviews software that moves data from one phone to another: contacts, messages, call logs, photos, app data and chat history. It covers seven paid desktop tools and seven free built-in routes, scored on the same rubric so the numbers are comparable across pages.

Who writes the reviews

Reviews are written and published by the phone-to-phone editorial team. The team runs the Windows test bench described on the how we test page, checks every price against the vendor's own store page, and applies the rubric on the how we test page.

We publish under a team byline rather than inventing individual reviewer personas. When a named reviewer joins, their profile, photo and review history appear here and on every page they authored — the byline system is already wired for it.

How the work is done

  1. Install the tool on a clean Windows machine, connect an iPhone and an Android phone by USB.
  2. Run the transfer with all categories selected, record the time, the detected counts and the counts present afterwards.
  3. Read the vendor's documentation for the categories the run did not cover, and mark those as documented rather than tested.
  4. Cross-check the licence price, refund window and device limits against the vendor's purchase page on the day of publication.
  5. Re-check monthly. Prices and feature lists change; the date at the top of each page is the date of the last check.

How we are funded

Some links are affiliate links. If you buy through one, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Scoring and ranking are set before commercial relationships are considered, and a tool that scores badly is not moved up because it pays better. Every page with affiliate links says so at the top.

Corrections

If a price, a supported category or a platform claim is wrong, mail editors@phone-to-phone.com with the page and the evidence. Corrections are made on the page and the update date changes. If a vendor disputes a test result, we will publish their response alongside the finding rather than delete it.

Testing and reviews

We run every Windows and macOS migration tool we cover on the same bench: one iPhone, one Galaxy, one cable each, and a stopwatch. What each tool actually moved goes into our public test log. Prices are checked against the vendor's own store page every month.
