You just need to sync all your current phone / SIM contacts to your Google account. Here's a guide:

Thanks again.

haven't had to worry about transferring contacts for 4 years now, sync and save to google, stored forever in the cloud

Google/Android automatically backs up a significant portion of your data to the cloud with your permission. To allow this, go to Settings > Backup & Reset, and then tap “Backup My Data” and “Automatic Restore.” From this screen you can also select the Google account to which you’d like to sync your data.

You should also go to
Settings > accounts/sync > choose your Gmail account here and then ensure all options are set to sync and then everything’s is backed up to your Gmail /Google account so the next phone you turn on and use this account on will magically show all your stuff

You just need to clear some memory, start by deleting the apps you don't really need (games can take a lot of space).

Then there is a bigger issue with the phone if that wont work - try deleting unwanted apps and clearing the cache on others and see if you can reboot and maybe even re-signin with your Google account again.

This is where you will find them if you are backing them up to a Google account
