Are you looking for some ways to transfer contacts from Android to iPhone? As a matter of fact, a lot of feasible ways can do that. However, how do you transfer contacts from Android to iPhone after setup if you hope there's no data loss? In case of that, Move to iOS can be excluded first as this app requires a factory-new iPhone. So, if your iPhone is not factory new, you need to factory reset your iPhone and then Move to iOS is available to use. Except for Move to iOS, we will explain a few practical solutions to transfer contacts from Android to iPhone after setup. Now let's get into it!

Part 2. How to Transfer Contacts from Android to iPhone After Setup with SIM Card

In addition to a third-party application, you can also use your SIM card to copy the contacts from your Android phone.

Generally speaking, people would not change their phone number when they decide to switch to a new phone. So I guess there's an added bonus.

Before you begin, make sure the space of your SIM card is enough to contain all your contacts on your Android phone memory. What's more, your SIM card is supported by your iPhone models. Learn which size SIM card your iPhone or iPad uses for more information.

Note: If you bought an iPhone 14 in the United States, your iPhone doesn't have a physical SIM card slot; it supports an eSIM.

When you get ready, follow the steps shown below to transfer contacts from Android to iPhone after setup via SIM card:

Step 1. On your Android, go to the Contacts app.

Step 2. Find the Import option and then select your SIM card to import the contacts.

Step 3. Then unplug the SIM card and insert it into your iPhone.

Step 4. On your iPhone, go to Settings > Contacts > Import SIM Contacts.
