Q: Back up help

I understand you'd like to make sure your contacts are transferred to your new iPhone. I completely understand why you'd be concerned about keeping your contacts intact when switching to a new iPhone, and I'm happy to offer some help.
One way to do this is to back up your iPhone using either iTunes or iCloud, then restore that backup to the new iPhone. You can see full instructions at these two links:

Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from a backup
Another way to do this would be to go to Settings > iCloud and turn Contacts on. You can then verify that the contacts are stored in iCloud by going to http://www.icloud.com
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers!
