I have come up with this post because I have a bunch of vCards (188 to be precise) that I transferred from my phone (via bluetooth) to my PC. Now I want to bulk import them into my Google Contacts but. I don’t see a multi-select feature on the import section. To make matters worse, the vCards are named sequentially, not by the contact name so it’s hard to pick and choose what I want imported. So i have found one solution to combine all vCards(.vcf files) into one Single vCard(.vcf file) file.

- After reading this post you will be able to know how to convert vCards (which is all your phone will export) into a CSV formatted text file, or you can say into one single vCards file.

    An extremely useful post, and it does not seem to be commonly known that you can merge .vcf files this way. I used it to get vcards into an iphone, by just merging them into one .vcf, then emailing it to the iphone. When you click on the attachment the iphone gives you the option of adding them all to contacts.
