I have multiple contact accounts on my iPhone, primarily an Exchange Activesync account for work, and a CardDAV Google Contacts account for personal stuff. Contacts that exists in both accounts are automatically "linked" by iOS, in effect treating it as one contact, with any changes updating both accounts.

If I add a new contact I have to add it to either account. My work account syncs to my work computer where I cannot add google accounts (which is fine), however the same restriction applies to the CardDAV acocunt, which is not always as fine, as I can only sync my work account to my phone.

What I would like is an easy way to copy a contact from one account to all. For instance, if I have a John Appleseed in my work account, I would like a way to tell iOS to duplicate this information to my personal account for any contacts I would like access to on my iPad and so on.

Do you know of a way to copy contact information to a new account?
