Q: create new apple id get contacts from old apple id
Help! My teenagers are getting all of my texts because we share an apple ID. I want to create a new Apple ID for myself but want to be able to get all of my contacts from my old Apple ID. How do I do that? Thanks!
iPhone 6, iOS 8.4.1

If you are syncing contacts via iCloud, you will want to turn that function off (settings app > iCloud) before changing ID's on the phone. Once you turn it back on with the new ID, you should have to option to Merge them which will retain them.
If you are not syncing them with iCloud, doesn't matter. They will still be there when you change IDs.
