How to backup iPhone contacts (no iCloud, iTunes or Outlook)? I have an iPhone from another age (pre 2008) which is ready to be commissioned as defunct and replaced with a new 4S. My question, is how to back up the contacts form the old iPhone and transfer them to the new one. 

The question of backing up iPhone contacts could seem simple at first sight, but in my case it comes with a headache.

I do not use Outlook. I cannot use the iCloud on my old iPhone. I do not use iTunes sync and manage my iPhone manually, so would strongly prefer not to use iTunes at all.

I was thinking placing the contacts on my SIM card, but iPhone only supports getting contacts from SIM and not saving them to SIM.

I was also thinking bluetooth, but learned that bluetooth is only used for iPhone accessories and cannnot be used for iPhone data transfer whatsoever.
You can extract your iPhone contacts and back them up to your computer via CopyTrans Contacts.

Then use the same program to transfer the contacts from your computer to your new iPhone.
