Hi,

Please try this piece of code for your requirements.

//Trigger
 

trigger AccountContact on Account(after insert) {
        if(Trigger.isInsert){
            AccountTriggerHandler.createContact(Trigger.new);
     }
 }

//Trigger Handler

Public class AccountTriggerHandler{
	public static void createContact(List<Account> accList){
		List<Contact> ct = new List <Contact>();
		for(Account acc : accList){
            Contact c = new Contact();
			c.LastName = acc.Name;
            c.AccountId= acc.Id;                                                 
            c.Fax=acc.Fax;                                               
            c.Phone=acc.Phone;                                               
			ct.add(c);
		}
		insert ct;
	}
}

Not sure why you would create two codes to solve this problem. I would just use the Trigger to create the Contact: something like this: 
trigger AccountContact on Account(after insert, after update) {
     List<Contact> ct = new List <Contact>();
     if(Trigger.isInsert){
           Account acc : trigger.new;
           Contact c = new Contact;
   c.LastName = acc.name;
   c.AccountId=acc.id;
   c.Fax=acc.Fax;
   c.Phone=acc.Phone;
   ct.add(c);
    }
    insert ct;
}
