Whats the easiest way to copy my contacts from my s3 mini to s5 mini (when it comes) ?

Looks like its coming with new 4g sim. Same number on o2.

Can I copy existing contacts to current sim. Put this temporarily in new phone then copy from sim to phone. Then put in the new sim ?

Another thing. I have a micro sd mem card in my s3 mini. Willthis work with existing data on my s5 or will it need reformated. Ie. Locked to that phone ?

By default Android will sync your contacts along with other info to your google account, check in settings - accounts - google & tap your email address just above where is says it was last synced & make sure contacts is ticked, think it only syncs contacts stored on the phone & not contacts stored on the sim card.

When you get your new phone & turn it on & go through the setup process & enter your google account details & it should pull down your contacts & start installing your apps etc.

Your welcome, give it a hour or two then check gmail on your desktop computer if you have one or use the web browser on your phone & check the contacts section to make sure they have all synced on including the missing ones. Your new phone will pull them down when you enter you google account details
