How To Migrate iPhone Contacts to Android OS

This guide will show you how to easily migrate your contacts over when you buy a real phone like the Galaxy S3/S4 after using an iPhone.

There are two main options open to you for migrating contact data over to Google for use on your new Android device.

  1. Use iTunes to sync with Google
  2. Use a iOS application from the AppStore to migrate contacts

Each option has it’s advantages and disadvantages.

Using an iOS Application negates the need to sync your iPhone with a computer using iTunes, especially if you normally backup using iClound and do not regularly connect to a computer. However most of the decent apps that perform this task do cost a couple of dollars so it can end up costing you a little to do it this way.

Performing the migration via iTunes sync is totally free and will not cost you a cent, however it does involve some more work and requires that you sync your phone with a computer that is connected to the internet. Also please be aware that if you have previously synced with a computer you will need to use the same one to perform this operation otherwise you risk wiping the data on your phone.
