I have multiple contacts vCard VCF file created on my Android device and I would like to import it to Outlook 2010. It seems that Outlook doesn't support multiple contacts VCF file and import just first contact from such file. Is there any way to import my 1000 contacts from such VCF file into Outlook 2010?

After many tries with different 3-rd party software this workaround did the job just fine and simple:

  1. Import file (from leftside menu "Import contacts") to Google Contacts https://contacts.google.com/ in a group named "Imported [date]" is automatically created
  2. Export (from top menu "More") "Imported [date]" group as Outlook CSV format
  3. Import it to Outlook: File/Open/Import/Import from another program or file/Comma Separated Values/ Choose source file/Choose destination Outlook folder/Finish

Note that Outlook failed to open the CSV file until I removed some contacts with Chinese characters.
