Importing, exporting, and sharing contacts

If you have contacts stored in vCard format on an SD card, USB storage, or SIM (depending on your model of phone), you can import them into Contacts on your phone. You can export contacts in vCard format onto an SD card or USB storage, to back them up to a computer or other device. And you can send a contact via email.
