I need to get contacts from a deactivated dumb phone to my Galaxy S4. The dumb phone provides for export only by SMS (no longer an option) or Bluetooth, and even then only 1 at a time. It does use .vcf. I have 2 Google accounts on the Galaxy S4. When I send each contact, can I have it go into Google account B only? I need to keep each account's contacts separate.

LG CU720, GSM, AT&T (locked). The AT&T service is terminated.
It's GSM so Bitpim won't work with it. I tried it just to be sure.
The Galaxy S4 is on Sprint (CDMA).
There are 79 contacts with phone numbers and e-mail addresses. Sending them over 1 at a time via Bluetooth won't be much fun, but it's better than manually entering everything into the S4 or the desktop.
I tried also a deactivated iPhone 3GS. I was going to put contacts into it by Bluetooth then sync to iCloud then use the desktop to log in to iCloud and make a single .vcf that I could upload to Google with the preferred account logged in. But the 3GS said the CU720 isn't supported and wouldn't let me do anything but forget the device.
