Transfer data using a Wi-Fi network and the Device
Switch app
You can use the Device Switch app to transfer data from a device running BlackBerry OS version 5.0 to 7.1, a device
running the BlackBerry 10 OS, a device running iOS 6 and later, or a device running Android 2.3 and later to your new
BlackBerry 10 device.
To use the Device Switch app, both of your devices must be connected to the same Wi-Fi network, preferably a home Wi-Fi
network, since some corporate or public Wi-Fi networks can block the Device Switch app from working.
