I have an iphone 5 for work but have to return my phone to my employer and just purchased a personal phone - iphone 5 as well.


How do I transfer the contacts from one to the other?

Thank you for the reply. However, on step 4, it is providing direction for a phone that is going through the set up process: When prompted to set up, choose "Restore from iCloud Backup," tap next, and enter your Apple ID and password.


I already did that step last night with my new phone - but chose to start as "new iphone". Is there a way to go back to that step?

I am still having a few issues but hoping maybe you'd be able to help me again.


My original phone (work phone) is being returned to them in the next day. If I delete everything on that, will that impact what is stored on the new phone?


Also, when I go to settings>messages>send & receive>


It does not allow me to use the new cell phone # to send and receive...for some reason, the # is listed but it is greyed out. Any suggestions?
