If you have an Android smartphone, go to the Contacts app and then Settings. Then choose Import/Export and choose Export to SIM card. Then, you only have to do the same operation on your new mobile to retrieve them all, taking care of selecting Import from SIM card. Even simpler, some manufacturers, including Samsung or Huawei, offer dedicated applications for data recovery, including contacts, on every change of phone.

Note that if you change operators, you will need to export or save your contacts to the device, this time to the device, before you can re-import your contacts to your new SIM card.

But the best bet is to save all your contacts in the cloud, in your Google account. For that, with each new entry, make sure to select the option to save the contact to your Google Account. Then, you’ll automatically be able to access them from any smartphone you’re logged into on.

To transfer data from one iPhone to another, the best option is to save everything online, in iCloud. To do this, select Contacts in the list of options in Settings/Apple ID/iCloud. That way, you can always have them automatically recovered on your new smartphone (or iPad or Mac).

This can apply to any data on your iPhone, not just contacts. You can also manage (add, modify or delete) your contacts directly from the iCloud web platform. These changes will update your contacts on your iPhone instantly.
