To migrate Android contacts to iPhone without SIM. It is worth reconsidering because it is the only free, official cross-platform solution that operates entirely without Google services or manual file handling. Move to iOS creates a private Wi-Fi network directly between your Android and iPhone. Your contacts transfer securely without ever touching any cloud service, and the entire process is free.

Move to iOS only works during iPhone setup. If your iPhone is already set up and you want to migrate Android contacts to iPhone without SIM, you would need to:

1. Back up your iPhone data

2. Go to Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Erase All Content and Settings

3. Set up the iPhone as new

4. Use Move to iOS during the setup process

5. Restore your backup afterward

Your best bet is Move to iOS with a temporary iPhone erase—it is official.
