Final Method:

Another method would be to just swap your SIM cards. There is a severe limitation attached to this method. This works only when the SIM card which fits in your android phone is accepted by your iPhone too, size-wise.

  • What you can do it firstly, save all the contacts on your Android phone to its SIM.
  • Then, insert the SIM in your iPhone, without affecting its sim-slot.
  • Then, go to the settings and choose “Mail, Contacts, Calendars” and then,
  • Import the SIM contacts.
  • Finally, you can replace the iPhone’s SIM with the original card.

One can obviously get their sim cut down to any size but we still advise you to choose this as the last resort because integral data is not something worth risking and if you lose it, you lose it!

These are the most common methods people can adopt when they would like to migrate their data from their Android phone to their iPhone.
