Transferring contacts/photos/apps/texts from one number to another existing iPhone

I'm sure I can't be the first person in history to have to transfer data from an existing iPhone (AT&T) to another existing iPhone (Verizon.) Is there a way to do this so that I can cancel my AT&T phone and just have one phone (Verizon?) I don't want to lose everything on my AT&T phone when I cancel the service. The phone i am cancelling is my personal cell, but my work pays for the Verizon phone, so I am trying to have only one phone. (There are two apple ID's - one for each phone, obviously.)


iPhone 8, iOS 13

Photos Upload to Cloud Drives (iCloud Drive, Google Drive, OneDrive, DropBox, Flickr, box, AmazonDrive etc) not sync.

Apps and Text, since they belong to different Apple ID, it is quite impossible to transfer from one apple ID to another.

Contacts are neither stored locally on an iPhone nor in SIM. They are synced to an email account that you had Google, iCloud, AOL, Exchange, Outlook, Yahoo or any Other


  1. How many Contacts account (email client server) you have?
  2. What is your default Contacts Account?
  3. Which email account you are using to store Contacts?


  • See the GIF below for Contacts and Default Account



  • Learn how to add an email account and make it default (Watch the GIF)
  • This example is for Gmail but the process remains same for all Google, iCloud, AOL, Exchange, Outlook, Yahoo or any Other
