If you use gmail then you can use that to transfer contacts.

Edit : which phone are you going to choose so we can suggest methods.

Going from the S3 to the S5. Have my contacts backed up on gmail at the moment, so guess i just sync and that will get them on my phone. Not sure from there how to get them on my SIM?

Google will sync your contacts to the new phone fine.

Also, there is an option in the contacts app settings menu to "move contacts to", one of the choices is sim card.

I went from a S3 to a Note 4 and synced via Gmail...I haven't got them on my sim now though....

Yes GMail is your best option possibly then.

Nice choice of phone. 😄

Is there any need to do that Rich...as I haven't got them on my sim?...

Not unless you want to use the same sim in a non connected phone.
The amount of space you have to store contact info is also very limited on a sim card so it will cut off half your contact names - PITA to have them on a sim card these days.

Just been told by a mate who works for o2 that i may not need a new SIM, as alot of 3g SIMs also are configered to work on 4g

Hope so, saves hassle of a SIM swap

All O2 sims are now 4G. The sim swap is easy enough. Mine was changed a couple of weeks ago. I took it instore and they did it for me
