Thanks Romain for the workaround.

I am still hoping there will be app option for import/export the
contacts.

Bug description:
  Hi,

  There are no option to sync contact for a human being form the
  Contacts apps, from a backup file (xml,vcf,…?). This need comes from
  that many users of Ubuntu might be moving from Android or other famous
  OS on phone; these OS not always give the option to sync contact on
  SIM, but on an file on the SDCARD, so Ubuntu (address-book-app) should
  provide a way to import these backups.

  Steps :

   * Launch contacts
   * no option to sync, import/export contact are found on the interface (only a search option and a + option)
   * swipe from down to access the + menu, users might expect to add manually contact here, no more option like importing contacts from file.
   * To be sure I checked in the system settings, no import option found there

  User should be able to add contact from his backup on SDCARD (no one
  want to import hundreds of contacts manually).
