How do I restore my contact list?

[parkrunner]

I'm replacing a cheap flip phone with an Android phone.  Just before I switched I did a contact backup using Backup Assist.  After I switched I found the Backup Assist Plus app, which I assume is a compatible app that would restore my contacts to my new Android phone.  I launch this app and the only choice I am presented with is "Sync".  I don't want Sync, I want Restore.  I tried Sync anyway, thinking I would get a Restore option, and it told me it was backing up 10 contacts, which by the way failed.  Beside I never created any contacts on this new phone.  How do I restore my contacts to my new phone?

Personally I would log into the MyVerizon account online and go to the Backup Assistant area of the site.  From there I would export all the contacts to a CSV file or a Vcard contact file.  Then with a computer browser, I would log into the Google account I planned on using as the main Google account on the android phone.  I would take the previously saved CSV file and import it to the Google contacts.  Once signed in the Google account on the phone, the contacts will sync to the phone.

I was able to restore the contacts by following the general advice of another user. That advice was to log into My Verizon, go to the Cloud services, export the contacts onto my PC (vcard format), transfer that file to the Android phone, then import them into the contacts.
