Moving Contacts across Apple IDs
My husband and I share an AppleID and I need to get him his own since we both have iPhones now. Is there a way to easily transfer his 400 contacts to his new Apple ID?
iPhone 4S, iOS 7.0.2

Settings > iCloud > turn off contacts and choose to keep on phone
Turn off all the toggles, keep the items you want and delete the rest when prompted.

Sign back in with his new account. The contacts(and anything else) on his phone should sync to his iCloud account.
