Yes, it does come with migration software, but I think you will be disappointed at the speed with which it runs apps compared to say a Galaxy s7 or s8; it chugs along at a noticeably slower pace, with apps offering you to put the instance of their app out of it's misery as they don't seem to be responding, if you select wait, it will more often than not reward your patience with a break through and catch-up to the human input.

I didn't expect the speed of my s7, I got this Luna so I could avoid some of the, lets call it what it is, abusive pricing on hardware and services for a simple phone. TBH, I only use my s7 for phone calls maybe 2-3 times a month, the rest of the time I'm at home taking skype calls via WiFi, so hundreds of dollars for my s7 to operate in those spaces where WiFi isn't available seems unfair. So I get a Luna for out and about call capability, in those rare moments it's needed, and some occasional browsing. $15/mo, with rollover still seems pricey but it's one of the better deals out there by Tracephone. Supposedly Ting is a bit better, as low as $6/mo for bare bones service for those of us who don't spend much time on the phone... but the time since launch, low margins and conspicuous lack of chatter about them leads me to believe they're either defunct, bought out or out of business.

Keep in mind when they tell you it's an 8 core processor, it's true and false, yes the Snapdragon processors have 8 cores, but it's something called BIG/little architecture, 4 cores are power hungry but powerful, these are the "Big cores" that do all the work while your screen in on and you're running multiple apps, nice fast response times. The other 4 cores are little ones, engaged when the screen is not on and they are super efficient but quite slow, but not that you need lots of power when your screen is off. If you buy an S7 or S8 you'll be happy with the power to run apps via wifi. If you're interested in a cheap method of bare bones communication, Galaxy Luna is just fine.

Although I cannot answer with any degree of authority, I am willing to share my experience with you. If you buy from Best Buy as I did, I am confident they can transfer your contacts for you. They transferred 86 contacts from an LG to my new Samsung Luna (both TracFone) They have a computer program that does it with only a few clicks. There were problems with 6 of my contacts that were my fault in the way I entered them originally. I re-entered those six and I was back in business. 

I would recommend you print out a list of your contacts if possible. In my case the contacts were mirrored in my g-mail account and all I had to do was compare the phone with my g-mail account.

One thing you may want to consider is asking whether they can do it before you buy. That is what I did. They have a help desk devoted to those types of questions.

Wishing you the same good fortune that I had.
