***tavenger5*** · 09-04-2012

Want to move your contacts from an iPhone, iPod, or iPad to your new Samsung Galaxy S3? No problem.

Step 1 - Sync your iPhone/iPod/iPad with Gmail
This can be done over a wi-fi connection if you no longer have service on your iPhone. Only iOS 3.0 and above is supported.

Open the Settings application on your iPhone's home screen.
Open Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
Tap Add Account....
Select Microsoft Exchange. iOS 4.0+ allows multiple Exchange accounts.

Enter Account Info
In the Email field, enter your full Google Account email address. If you use an @googlemail.com address, you may see an "Unable to verify certificate" warning when you proceed to the next step.
Leave the Domain field blank.
Enter your full Google Account email address as the Username.
Enter your Google Account password as the Password.
Tap Next at the top of your screen.
Choose Accept if the Unable to Verify Certificate dialog appears.
A new Server field will appear. Enter m.google.com.
Press Next at the top of your screen again.
Select the Google services you want to sync.
Unless you want to delete all the existing Contacts and Calendars on your phone, select the Keep on my iPhone option when prompted. This will also allow you to keep syncing with your computer via iTunes.

If you want to sync only the My Contacts group, you must choose to Delete Existing Contacts during the Google Sync install when prompted. If you choose to keep existing contacts, it will sync the contents of the "All Contacts" group instead.

You've set up Google Sync for your iPhone. Synchronization will begin automatically if you have Push enabled on your phone. You can also open the Mail, Calendar or Contacts app and wait a few seconds to start a sync.

The above section via Google Sync : Set Up Your iPhone or iPod Touch - Mobile Help

Step 2 - Setup your Samsung Galaxy S3:

On your S3 make sure you have connected your Gmail account
Go to Contacts > Menu > Accounts
Select your Google account > Sync Now
Your new contacts and/or calendar will be imported and synced - Any duplicates should be merged.

You can also do this using your Google account/email address. It will just sync your contacts and stuff to your Gmail account, and they will be automatically on your Samsung phone when you connect that particular Gmail account.
