How do I import contacts from excel into contacts

You need a compatible vCard format to import them to iCloud. If you can create a CSV file, you can create a Gmail account and import it to Gmail (see https://support.google.com/a/answer/14024?hl=en), then export the contacts from Gmail as a vCard (see https://support.google.com/mail/answer/24911?hl=en) and import it to iCloud (see http://support.apple.com/kb/PH3605).

see if you try to compete all different things than there is a chance that you can lost your contacts details. so in that case i used a thrid party tool which is excel to vCard converter.. as i tied the same way and lost some of the important contact detail. there are many such kind of tools are available and some of them are free to download like http://www.exceltovcard.onlinetechaid.com/

If you want to want to get your Excel contact accessed in iPhone or iCloud account then you first need to get all the contacts exported into a vCard file and once all the contacts gets transferred into VCF file then you can easily import the VCF file into iPhone by logging into your iCloud account, once contacts gets added in iCloud account you can sync them with your iPhone address book.
