If the instructions in the manual are not working, you can add contacts on a TCL Classic (4058R) manually through the home screen:
1. From the home screen, find and select the Contacts icon (looks like a person) using the OK button. 2. Press the Options button (usually bottom left of the screen). 3. Select "New Contact" and press OK. 4. Enter the contact's first name using the keypad. Press keys repeatedly to select letters. 5. Press OK to move to the last name and enter it the same way. 6. Continue entering other details like phone number. 7. Save the contact.
If importing from Google doesn't work, export your contacts to a .vcf file, then transfer the file to the phone via USB or Bluetooth, and import from the SIM or storage.
