"I just received my first iPhone from my husband on my birthday. Now, I would like to transfer all of my Outlook contacts which exist on my computer to the iPhone. Is it possible?"

Yes, it is possible and there are different ways to do that using different tools. This guide explains how to transfer Outlook contacts to iPhone without iTunes. We will introduce an iTunes alternative transfer tool, FonePaw iOS Transfer to help you import contacts from Outlook (2003/2007/2010) to iPhone.

FonePaw iOS Transfer allows you to transfer contacts from Outlook to iPhone directly without the need to export contacts from Outlook to a CSV or VCF file first. Other than that, it can also help you backup iPhone contacts or transfer other data among iPhone, computer and iTunes.
