Your phone can export its contacts, but as contact cards in a vCard file, which is made for address books, not spreadsheets. Excel opens CSV files. Here's how to get from one to the other on iPhone and on Android with Apple's and Google's own tools, and the shortcut in Sigbot's phone app.
Neither phone exports contacts as a spreadsheet. An iPhone exports contact cards, from the Contacts app or from iCloud.com, as a vCard (.vcf) file. Android's Contacts app exports a .VCF file too. Google Contacts, on a computer, can import a vCard and export a CSV file, which Excel opens. So on either phone the route is: get the contacts into Google Contacts, then export a CSV. Or use Sigbot's iPhone app: tick the people to copy into Sigbot, then export them to Excel or CSV. That's in the iPhone app from version 2.1.3, and coming to Android next.
| iPhone, via Google Contacts | Android, via Google Contacts | Sigbot's phone app | |
|---|---|---|---|
| The file you end with | CSV | CSV | Excel (.xlsx) or CSV |
| What you need | A computer and a Google account | A computer and a Google account | The iPhone app, version 2.1.3 or later (Android next) |
| Which contacts | All of them, or a list you pick | All of them, or the ones you select | The ones you tick |
| In the file | Your phone's contacts only | Your phone's contacts only | Your phone's contacts, and if you like everyone whose signature is in your Outlook |
Apple's tools export a vCard, either from the iPhone or from iCloud.com. Google Contacts turns that into a CSV file. You'll need a computer for the last step.
Contacts saved to your Google account sync between your Android phone and Google Contacts, which can export them as a CSV file on a computer. Contacts saved only on the phone take one more step.
Other phone makers' Contacts apps word these steps a little differently. With a work or school Google account, Google says you can't select all the contacts in the company Directory.
Sigbot's iPhone app can copy the contacts on your phone into Sigbot, into a personal folder called Phone contacts. From there you export them to Excel or CSV, on their own or with everyone whose email signature is in your Outlook. It's in the iPhone app from version 2.1.3, and coming to the Android app next.
Get Sigbot from the App Store and log in. On the Contacts tab, tap +, then Import from your phone. Read what happens, tap Continue and allow access to your contacts.
Nothing is ticked for you: tick the people you want, or Select all, then Import. They go into your Phone contacts folder.
At sigbot.app, open the Phone contacts folder and choose Export Data > Excel (.xlsx) or CSV (.csv).
Someone already in Sigbot? If a contact on your phone might already be in Sigbot, with the same email address or number, say, the app asks "Is this the same person?" before treating them as one. Yes fills in what Sigbot is missing from your phone; No adds them as a separate contact.
What's in the file. The same columns as every Sigbot export: First Name, Last Name, Email, Phone, Mobile, Company, Job Title, Location and more. Export just the Phone contacts folder, or everything at once. Phone contacts count towards your plan's contact allowance, like any other contact (see pricing).
Only what you tick leaves your phone. Those contacts are copied into your own Sigbot account, and Sigbot uses them only to show them to you: in your list, on the map and for Caller ID. It never messages them, and you can delete them at any time, like any other contact. Importing doesn't change the contacts on your phone. More in our privacy policy.
The rest of your contacts are in your email. Connect Outlook or Microsoft 365, and Sigbot reads the signatures in your mailbox and files each person as a contact, so the same export can include everyone whose signature is in your mailbox: how to extract contacts from Outlook emails into Excel.
For a team. Your Phone contacts folder is yours alone. On team plans you can add any of them to a team folder, so the whole team can use them: how to share contacts with your team.
On Android today, use Google Contacts as above: Import from your phone is coming to the Android app next.
