I always synce my phone to my gmail account. It backs up all my contacts to my gmail contacts. Whenever I get a new phone I can just synce it to my gmail and contacts can be imported.

Trying to avoid the cutting route.
The Chat doesn't allow you to sync contacts to gmail.

Not really worth it for a once off.
Saw that the old phone can export to vCard file, and the new phone can import. So I'll go that route.

Then have it done?

Almost all those cell phone counters can move sim and phone data around.

Of course, they have all sorts of SIM adapters and readers.
