Convert VCF to BB

VCF and BB files

VCF (Virtual Contact File) and BB (BlackBerry Backup or .bbb files) are file formats used for different purposes.

VCF is a standard file format for storing contact information. It can include names, phone numbers, email addresses, and more. VCF files are compatible with many email clients and services, making them widely used for importing and exporting contacts.

BB is a backup file format used by BlackBerry devices. Typically used .bbb file extension. BB files store various types of data from a BlackBerry phone, such as contacts, emails, and other information.

Converting a VCF file to BB format is a process of importing the contacts from the VCF file into a BlackBerry device or the BlackBerry Desktop Software. This can then be used to create a BB backup file.

How to import VCF to BlackBerry Device

• Transfer the VCF file to your BlackBerry device.
• Open the Contacts application on your BlackBerry.
• Use the import option to add the contacts from the VCF file to your BlackBerry contacts.

How to create BB Backup

• Connect your BlackBerry device to a computer where BlackBerry Desktop Software is installed.
• Open the BlackBerry Desktop Software.
• Use the backup feature to create a BB file. This file will now include the contacts imported from the VCF file.

BlackBerry Desktop Software

BlackBerry Desktop Software was the official software from BlackBerry, which allowed managing and backing up data on BlackBerry devices. It was essential for creating BB files and importing contacts from VCF files.

Direct conversion tools from VCF to BB might not be readily available due to the specific nature of these file formats.

BlackBerry discontinued its legacy devices and services, including BlackBerry OS, BlackBerry 10, and BlackBerry PlayBook OS, on January 4, 2022. The end of support for these operating systems marked the end of functionality for devices running these operating systems. Since then, these devices can no longer reliably transmit data, make phone calls, send SMS, or provide emergency services. BlackBerry discontinued this product as part of its transition to focus on security software and services for enterprises and governments.
