Hi,

What I did was to send all my contacts from my old phone to my Mac Mini via bluetooth, the files were transfered as vCards, I think the file extension is .vcf (don't remember), once all my contacts were on my mac, I imported them on the program Address Book, that comes with MacOS. Once there, I had all the info for every contact, including email, birthday, etc. And then I just opened iTunes and check the Sync Address Book contacts checkbox, and all my contacts were transfered to my iPhone with the same info as in my old phone.

Try that on a Mac, I don't know if it would work with the contacts in arabic form, but you could try.

Hope it works
