  4. Go to the "Info" tab
  5. Place a checkmark next to "Sync Contacts With"

Using iCloud to Transfer Contacts:

Apple's iCloud backup service gives users the possibility to export iPhone contacts, provided that you've backed up the contacts before. For this method you need access to a computer with an active Internet connection.

  1. Open your computer's Internet browser and visit https://www.icloud.com/
  2. Sign in with your iCloud account, and go to the contacts list
  3. From the list, select the contacts that you wish to export
  4. Once selected, click the icon depicting a cog wheel, located in the lower-left side of the screen
  5. Select "Export vCard" and your computer will download a VCF file
  6. To import the contacts to the Galaxy SII TV, you can either import the vCard file in "Google Contacts", or skip this step and perform the next one instead:
  7. Connect the Samsung smartphone to your PC via USB, and copy the VCF file to the phone's "sdcard" directory. Then, launch the "People" app, tap "Menu" > "Import / Export" > "Import from SD" > choose an account and the vCard file if necessary

Using the "My Contacts Backup" App:

Assuming that you don't have access to a PC, you can still transfer your contacts with the help of applications, such as "My Contacts Backup". The app provides an easy method of sharing via email.

  1. Download "My Contacts Backup" from the App Store, on your iPhone

  4. Send the email to your own Gmail address
  5. On the Galaxy S II TV, open the email and download the VCF file attachment
  6. Import the file's contents using the "People" application and the "Import / Export" function

Using the "Bump" Application:

Bump is a pretty smart application that can transfer contacts between smartphones via cloud. As such, this method does not require you to have access to a computer, email addresses, Bluetooth or NFC connectivity. You are however, required to have Internet access on both smartphones.

  1. Visit the Play Store on the Samsung device and install "Bump"
  2. Download the same app on the iPhone, from the App Store
  3. Open the application on both devices. If prompted, allow permissions
  4. On the iPhone, access the contacts section and select the contacts that you want to share
  5. When the "Bump now!" message appears, you are ready to begin the transfer

  7. Tap "Connect" and your iPhone contacts will be shared with your Samsung device through cloud
