How do I transfer contacts to or from my SIM card?

Before we answer this question, you should know there is a MUCH better way to move contacts from one phone to another. Setup a Gmail account and add your contacts there. If you do this, all you have to do is setup your Gmail account on a device and you will have the option to move your contacts to your device automatically. Please do this for your own sake! This is by far and away the most effective way to move your contacts from one device to another. Our recommendation is if your old phone can connect to Wi-Fi, you should create a Gmail account, move your contacts on your old phone to your Gmail account, then setup your Gmail account on your new device.

Now, to move your contacts to and from a SIM Card, go to the Android Contacts app on your device with your SIM Card inserted. Press and hold on a contact, it should pop a check box. Look for an option to select them all (or choose the ones you want), then press the share button. Share your contacts however you see fit (Bluetooth, email, Android Beam, etc.).
