To transfer contacts from LG to LG, i think it's more convenient to use a mobile transfer app to help, you just need few simple clicks to transfer everything between them, have a try.
To transfer contacts from your old LG440gb to your new LG237C, you can use Google account for free. And if you want to do that easily, you can also use mobile phone transfer program, which can help you directly transfer contacts between them via USB connecting cord on computer.
