Backing iPhone data up especially contacts regularly is really a good habit. Generally speaking, your iPhone contacts can be transferred to computer by 3 ways. The first, backing them up via iTunes. You can just connect your iPhone to computer and choose iPhone icon from the last-side list, then click on the “Back Up Now” icon. It can take a long time so that you just need to wait iTunes to create a complete backup of your iPhone patiently. The second choice is to sync with iCloud.
However, what if you are out of internet connection, how could you back up iPhone contacts offline? I believe iFonebox, a professional iOS data recovery tool can fully meet all these demands.
