You need to export from Outlook in csv format.

File, Open, Import - this will open the Import/Export wizard.

if you get them in vcf, you can import into outlook then export as csv. If you can sync the phone with outlook, they will sync directly without converting to csv.

I have a macro that can bulk import vcf at bulk import vcards

I had to confirm every single contact. I don't know how many contacts you have but this was a huge pain for 200. It was easy in the sense that it didn't take any setup or knowledge, but VERY tedious. I would definitely look for another solution next time.

There are utilities (most not free) and a macro (free) listed at bulk import vcards - much less tedious if you have to use vcards. :)

Importing a CSV file should not require any confirmation.

Next time just, hold Enter, it always press "Yes", I imported 80 contacts in like 2-3 seconds :)

Import the vcf file into a Google/gmail account, then export in the Outlook CSV format. Done!
