@gunnygordon said in Import Contacts To Ubuntu Touch:
Enable Developer mode on your Ubuntu Touch device
You don't need to do the things after this or enable developer mode. If you connect your device to USB, and unlock the screen, you will be able to browse the device and just drag & drop the contacts.vcf with the file manager, into the Documents directory.
Afterward, on the phone, you can open the File Manager app, go to the Documents directory, open the contacts.vcf file, and then select Contacts app, and your contacts will be imported.

Thanks dobey, worked like a charm!
@gunnygordon BTW, if the Ubuntu computer was used to install UT on the phone, the adb package is already installed.
