iPhones do not store any contacts on the SIM card at all. Unless the SIM card was used with a non Apple device in the past, there would be no contacts on the SIM card to read.


On an iPhone your contacts are stored in either iCloud or a 3rd party email account. Make sure your email accounts are are correctly added in Settings->Contacts->Accounts and that the contacts switch is turned on for them.
