Hello,
Consolidating from 2 phones to one and need to merge the contacts of two iCloud accounts. What is the best and most efficient way to get this done?

use contacts on a mac and import one of your contact lists into another and then remove the duplicates etc.

If you are wanting to merge contacts from two different Apple ID’s, log out of one of the ID’s and make sure to save the iCloud information on the phone. When you log into the same device with a different ID, you will be asked if you want to merge iCoud data, which you want to do. I did this recently on my iPhone and it worked without any problems.
