Importing, exporting, and sharing contacts

If you have contacts stored in vCard format on an SD card, USB storage, or SIM 
(depending on your model of phone), you can import them into Contacts on your 
phone. You can export contacts in vCard format onto an SD card or USB storage, to 
back them up to a computer or other device. And you can send a contact via email.

Import contacts from your SIM card

Your service provider may store some contacts on your SIM card, such as customer 
care and voicemail numbers. You may also have stored contacts on the SIM card if 
you’re moving it from another phone. You can add some or all of these contacts to the 
Contacts application.
