iPhones don't store anything in the SIM card.


Contacts are stored in iCloud or a 3rd party email account and can be accessed from there. To show a name instead of a number the iPhone needs to match the number it gets from your carrier's Caller ID to a contact in your Contacts App.


If you have not turned on contacts, go to Settings âžś Account (top of Settings) âžś iCloud âžś Contacts, and make sure it's turned on.


Then make sure you have a contact stored in the Contacts App for the exact number that is calling you.

If the carrier is adding an area code, or country code to the number in Caller ID, it may no longer match the number you have stored.


This has no connection to your SIM card change.
