Which iOS are you starting from? Quick Start used to require iOS 11 or newer, though that’s not listed anymore.

You may need to transfer your data using a local or iCloud backup.

Here is how to use Finder or iTunes locally to transfer, or an iCloud backup:

Transfer data from your previous iOS or iPadOS device to your new iPhone or iPad - Apple Support

If the Contacts are stored in iCloud or a Contacts (CardDAV) server somewhere, those don’t need to be transferred.

And per Apple:. If your new device is enrolled in Apple School Manager or Apple Business Manager, you can't use Quick Start to transfer data from your current device.
