To use your LinkedIn contacts on your phone after downloading them as a CSV or Excel file, you need to change the file type to one that your phone can read, usually a vCard (.vcf) file. Adding vCard files to your phone's contact list is easy on most phones.

Method 1-

Here's how to accomplish it in basic stages-

• To get your LinkedIn contacts, you must first export them from LinkedIn as a CSV or Excel file.
• Check the file on your computer to make sure it has all the contact details like names, phone numbers, and email addresses.
• Change the file type to vCard. Most phones won't accept CSV or Excel files straight, so you need to change the file type to.vcf.
• Once the file has been converted, you can move it to your phone and import all the contacts at once.

Now you can get the vCard file that your phone needs, even though LinkedIn gives you a CSV or Excel file.

Method 2-

To make this easier, you can use tools that convert CSV to vCard. One very useful and precise application is Softaken CSV to vCard converter.
