Import Contacts from SIM Card

This is maybe the simplest option. With it, you back up all of your contacts onto your Samsung SIM card, put the card into your iPhone, and then import the contacts. Here’s what to do:

1. On your Samsung phone, open the Contacts app. Then tap the three-line icon > Manage contacts > Import or export contacts > Export > SIM card > Export. Then tap all of the contacts you want to export > Done > OK > OK.

   These instructions use Android 10. On other OS versions, the steps may be slightly different, but the core concepts are the same.

2. When the export has finished, remove the SIM card from your Samsung. Do this by pushing a paper clip into the hole in the SIM card tray and popping out the SIM.

3. Repeat the SIM-removal process on your iPhone, put the SIM card from the Samsung into the iPhone SIM tray, and then insert it into the iPhone.

4. On the iPhone, go to Settings > Contacts > Import SIM Contacts and follow the onscreen instructions.

   *If you’re using a different SIM card with your iPhone than your Samsung, make sure to swap the correct card into the iPhone when you’re done.
