Question: When adding a new phone contact, how can I sync the contact's information to both my Samsung Account AND my Gmail account?

Details: Sprint>>Samsung Galaxy S3>>Model#SPH-L710

Other: Yes, I have my Google account and Samsung accounts already set to automatically sync, buy when adding a new contact, I can only pick one account to save it to. How can I save it to both.

Solutions Found: 1. When adding a new contact, save to one of the accounts. Type contact details again and save to the other account. Go to one of the duplicate contacts and select "Join Contact" and they will be saved to both accounts.

2. When adding a new contact, save to Samsung Account. Select "Share namecard via" and select Gmail. Send to your Gmail account (yourself). When email comes through, click the attachment and select the Google account you want to save the contact to (your Gmail account). The contact will now have a Samsung and Google connection account.

Why not just do these: Because both routes are very tedious, especially when adding a lot of new phone numbers. I want to know if there is a quicker solution. Only answer if you have a solution, I do not care for trolling.
