    The numbers are not stored in the sim - they are in Contacts

    If you have numbers on there, go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars and scroll down to Import SIM Contacts.

    If they are actually on sim here is the article to import the sim contacts http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4994

     

    That being said like dilbert41 said they are most likely not on there. If you have icloud just make sure contacts are turned on and as long as they did not come from like Facebook, work email, outlook etc they should merge into icloud. You can doublecheck by going to icloud.com , signing in and then clicking on the contacts to see what is in icloud. This means if they are all there then on the new phone all you have to do is use the same email when setting up the phone or signin to that icloud under settings > icloud in order to get the contacts.
