As far as I know, You cannot do such thing. try to search for some third party app that can help you
iVCard | Windows Phone Apps+Games Store (United States)

Update if your phone was a windows phone than if you use the same ms account on your new phone than they will automatically be copied back on your phone. For other OS add the account and you also have them.

Another option is going to people.live.com . I guess it allows importing contracts from csv files. Maybe it supports vcf too. If not, you can convert it to CSV. (just search for vcf online converters)

The only option i am getting from Transfer my data is Bluetooth. Are you referring to any third party application?

"Transfer My Data" is the name of a 3rd party app from Microsoft Mobile. Get it from the WP Store.

Transferring from SD card is only supported on certain phones, and I don't know which phones those are. If SD not supported, then only Bluetooth is supported.
