While our SDK doesn't have a service directly for adding bulk contacts, this can be done. Please take a look at the following code to see how to create an array of contacts, assign them column names, and use the addCreateContactsActivity. <!DOCTYPE HTML>

$contact = new AddContactsImportData();
// Next we will populate this with data. For this sample I am defining a value for each of the 15 custom fields and an email address.
// For more information about what fields you can set on this class, you can review src/Ctct/Components/Activities/AddContactsImportData.php
// This example only loads a single contact, but you could loop over the code to define multiple contacts.
$contact->addEmail("email_testing1@example.com");
$contact->addCustomField(CustomField::create(array("name"=>"Custom Field 1","value"=>"CF1")));
// --NEW--
// Add the contact we just created to the array of contacts.
$contacts[] = $contact;
// Once we have our contact data, we need to construct an array of column names. These can be found in the documentation for
// bulk uploads here: http://developer.constantcontact.com/docs/bulk_activities_api/bulks-activities-import-contacts-api.html
$columns = Array(
"EMAIL",
"CUSTOM FIELD 1"
);
// Next you need to define an array of strings that contains the IDs of each list you wish to add these contacts to.
$lists = Array(
"LIST_ID"
);
// The last step before we send it to Constant Contact is to create an instance of the AddContacts wrapper class to contain all of the information about this import.
$contactImport = new AddContacts($contacts,$lists);
$contactImport->column_names = $columns;
print_r(json_encode($contactImport));
// Finally, you can send the import to Constant Contact.
