    The ability to save contacts on the SIM card is extremely limited. This limitation can be very obvious when you import contacts via the SIM to the iPhone. This is the only time the iPhone will read from the SIM, as it never uses the SIM for any information, especially contacts because of these limitations. If you have an S5, I would guess that you have a Google account. If that is the case, you can sync your Google contacts to the iPhone, or there is support available to move content from Android to iPhone. See this support document.

    Your contacts should be saved to the Samsung somewhere other than the SIM, I'm guessing. You would have to check on that. I've never used an Android phone, just an Android tablet, so I cannot give you more information about that. I know that a SIM is required to activate your iPhone.
