Are you using the same Apple ID on the new phone as you used on the old phone?


If you weren't syncing contacts with iCloud, you can restore a backup of the old phone to the new phone. Restoring from a backup erases all data currently on your device. Any data newer than when the backup was made will be erased. A restore is an all or nothing restore.


Backup - Restore your device from an iCloud or iTunes backup


If you were syncing Contacts to iCloud, if you don't see them at iCloud.com/Contacts using a computer browser, try iCloud.com/Settings and go to Advanced at the bottom left. Access Restore Contacts.
