    i need to temporarily transfer contacts from an iphone 5s to a windows phone - what's the quickest easiest way to do this? I had assumed i could copy from phone to sim, but don't think that is possible.

    thanks

    Probably through iCloud. I think windows supports iCloud as a contacts backup.

    icloud is the quickist and easiest.

    but only after you download icloud for windows, discover you don't have enough disk space, delete a load of ****e off your pc, redownload icloud for windows, install, discover you still don't have enough ****e removed, run ccleaner, wake up the next morning, reboot, reinstall, wait, wait some more, get the all clear, go to windows phone, select icloud and contacts magically appear. travel to belfast to replace the iphone while wife goes to three to get a microsim to replace the nano sim and for some reason the windows phone doesn't recognise sim so she gets a cheapass nokia prepay ruling out all the previous evening and morning work to get the contacts transferred.

    then the next day drop your own phone and smash the screen.

    I know windows is bad but who doesn't have terabytes of storage in this day and age?!?

    that was the cause, in a roundabout way! I have unlimited onedrive. I copied most of the folders to onedrive, but forgot to set it to online only so onedrive created an offline folder with the same documents and filled up the hard-drive. (It's a 10 year old pc so hard-drive is only a 500gb)
