How are people exporting thousands of Excel contacts to VCF without losing phone numbers?

Losing phone numbers usually happens because Excel columns don’t map correctly into vCard fields. That’s why manual methods often fail with large contact lists.

  • To export thousands of contacts safely, you need:

  • Proper field mapping support

  • Bulk conversion with all attributes preserved

  • Preview before export

  • vCard version selection (3.0 or 4.0)

Most users prefer automated tools like WholeClear Excel to vCard Converter because it keeps mobile numbers, emails, and address details intact during conversion. You can export either one VCF file or multiple separate files depending on your needs.

It’s much more reliable than manual formatting.
