Iphone Contacts => SIM card

I'm ditching my Iphone and switching to Motorola Moto G. Is there an easy way to get my contacts transferred over to Android?

Or do Apple disallow that too? ;)

    A sim card can take only the basic information and not a lot.
    I think you can just create a google account and sinc your iPhone with it.
    Google for, say "iphone sync with google".

    Just sync with your PC (e.g. Outlook) as usual and when you get your new phone, sync it with your PC.

    I did it in May last year - I just googled it, didn't install any programs.
    I can't remember how I did it as I have been to sleep since then ;) sorry
