    Not sure but can you back them up to your network account?
    Like,if you are with Vodafone, you can store them on your Vodafone account.
    I can't remember for certain if you can or not though!

    Well I think it's a Samsung issue to get them off and on to your computer - so pursue that through Samsung forums imho.

    The next step will then be to get them into 'Contacts' on your PC and into the iPhone.

    on your samsung sync your contacts with your google/gmail account. plug in your iphone then go to itunes and tell itunes to sync your contacts with your google/gmail account. hit sync.

    Might be wrong but I think iTunes only gives yahoo and outlook as options for syncing contacts

    My iTunes doesn't have yahoo as an option anymore but I can link my contact through the mail app IIRC.

    Before icloud i used to use exchange to sync my contacts with my gmail account, the hassle i had to save them all as a .vcf and then import that to icloud. Maybe it was just me complicating things but I kept getting a message saying icloud couldn't sync the contacts because they were from my gmail account

    I got my phone number connected too much Google account, but I want to transfer my contacts to a new account.
    Is there any alternative online service?

    Fine, at last, I did it offline.
    I found a guide via Google, didn't know if you guys have ever tried this.

    Couldn't you just copy to sim and then import to the iPhone?

    It's a long time since I had to do that, but don't sims have a limit on the number of contacts they can store?

    You can use a transfer to help you do what you need. iPhone to Android is such a transfer and it can make it happen with high efficiency and 100% security. It supports all models of iPhone/iPad/iPod, like iPhone 5S/5C/5/4S, iPad Air, iPad Mini, iPod touch, iPod nano, iPod Shuffle and else.
