iPhones don't store any data on SIM cards.

The iPhone does not support saving contacts on the SIM card which is very limited.

Contacts are designed to be synced with a supported address book app on your computer which both iPhones can sync with.

Is it possible to save the contacts at itunes using 3GS then sync it with the Iphone 4 phone?

So it's like basically a transfer of contact but only to phone memory.
