I believe it is an LG Xpression (slider with keyboard) - very much a "feature" phone.  All those transfer options assume a smart phone (and pretty much Android or iOS).  So no app, unless there is something specific that LG provides (as far as I know, the phone uses an LG specific OS, not even a common feature phone environment like BREW).  While I have been using cell phones (on ATT and predecessor and successor companies Smiley Happy) for the better part of 30 years, I have had no real need (or use) for playing SIM swapping games, so I am not aware of any restrictions or problems (besides physical) in doing the transfer this way.  Since I assume I would have to transfer service from the old phone to the new (well...) one before doing the contact transfer (so I would have the new SIM for the iPhone), does that cause any problems?


@JrandomuserYou might have luck at a store. They sometimes have a machine that performs the transfer between devices. Beyond that you are looking at manually transferring the information between devices:(

some corp stores still have their old school transfer station that can transfer almost everything.
