Switch from a mobile phone or iPhone to the Samsung Galaxy S9 or S9 Plus and you may still have your contacts stored on the Sim card. If you want to transfer them from the Sim map to a cloud, such as Google Account, then this is fortunately possible.
The Samsung Galaxy S9 has an integrated wizard that performs exactly this transfer between Sim Card and Cloud. How to transfer contacts:
