IMPORTANT: Make sure you've exported all of your contacts from iCloud! The most common mistake we see customers make is they export only 1 contact from iCloud when they intended to export all of them. For instructions on exporting all of your contacts from iCloud, see Export your iCloud contacts to a vCard (.vcf) file.
