Q: Need to back up my husbands phone and save contacts.

Need to back up my husbands phone as he is getting a new one. I have backed up his existing phone to my iTunes. Tried to sync contacts but a message says 'synced to another account'. He can't remember the account. Should I merge contacts to my iTunes? Will this put all of his contacts onto my phone?

iPhone 5, OS X Yosemite (10.10.5)

A:

Download a copy of My Contacts Backup (from the app store) it will make a vcard file containing all the contacts and then email it wherever you choose. To restore it just email it to the new phone and click on it. It's free.
