VCF to CSV Converter
New version of the converter is ready for testing. It adds support of a large number of fields and conforms to the VCARD 3.0 standard.
You can find it here: http://code.google.com/p/vcf-to-csv-converter/
I will leave this old version here for now, if anyone still needs it.

Dear Peter,
I will need your help and advice. I’ve been using Sonyericsson phones for long years. I always transferred my vcf phone book directly to my new phones. But now I have a Nokia phone and I cant convert all my phone book to csv. The problem is that in my address book one person some times has 3-4 mobile numbers. When I convert this vcf it only converts some of my numbers not all. What do you think I should do? If you can write to me your advice I would be very happy. Thanks a lot.
Hello Hakan,
Google Contacts allows you to merge multiple contacts into one. You could in theory export to CSV, import the CSV into Google Contacts/GMail and merge the multiples that way.
Your other option is to send me a sample of the input file and perhaps I can find a way to merge multiple similar records into one in some way.
Let me know how it all works out for you.
Hi there…can you please help me? I’m not able to convert vCards from Address Book to transfer to a Nokia 8910i phone.. I’ve tried other CSV converters but once I send the file to my phone, it says “not supported by the phone”. Are there different versions of CSV files?
I couldn’t figure out how am I suppose to use the above thing. When I download it, Terminal opens up showing “missing required parameters”
Thank you…
Unfortunately I’m not familiar with the details of the import file required by the 8910i. There’s a possibility they require a different delimiter or something. To use my converter you would type in a command like this:
python ./convertContacts.py -i {input file name} -i {output file name}
Can you tell me how you are executing it?
Great; saved my bacon when I had over 100 VCF v-cards my boss wanted dumped into excel!! Notice your surname. Srbin? Pozdrav!

thanks
Hi how to type command python ./convertContacts.py -i {input file name} -i {output file name} ?

I couldn’t figure out–it doesn’t do Address/City/State/Zip/Country, or I did something wrong?
tried it with nokia contacts vcf file – no good.
Bill and Alan, if you can send me a file I will try to make it work. Use the contact form please.
Hello,
