Adding Contacts to new iPhone4S, SIM cards are different. Downloaded them to my PC, but haven't been able to export to iPhone... Ideas?

I know this is basic, Trying to move my Contacts from my old phone (Samsung Fascinate) to my new iPhone 4S. Am on Verizon. The SIM Cards are different, and they didn't get downlaoded successfully to iCloud. Have successfully downloaded other Contacts (from work), but not personal ones from my old phone.

Successfully downloaded to my PC from SIM card...but not successful exporting to iPhone.

I know it's simple...but nothing working. Ideas?

iPhone 4S, Contacts

iPhones do not use the SIM cards to store data. The iPhone just uses the SIM card to access the service provider's system. If you have downloaded the contact info from your old phone to your PC, you will now need to incorporate that info into a Windows app that can be synced to your iPhone.

Are you sure you're not talking about an SD card? If you had the Samsung Fascinate on Verizon, it didn't have a SIM card. It also didn't store contacts on the SD card.
