My old contacts don't import from my SIM when pressing 'Import SIM contacts' in the settings. All it does it asks me if: Import SIM contacts to Account - iCloud or From My Mac and imports my few existing contacts from the iPhone to the iCloud. I need the contacts already on my SIM to appear on my phone and later on my iCloud. How can I do that?
iPhone 4S, iOS 6.1.3
If you have them backed up in iTunes you can just do a restore.
iPhone does not keep contacts on the SIM.
I don't have them anywhere else but on my SIM at the moment as this is my first smart phone. I need my contacts from my notsosmartyeteasiertouse phone. I know iPhone does not store them there but nevertheless they are there (I checked) and I need them. Any ideas? Other than putting them in manually one by one...
Sorry, I personally don't have any other ideas. But on the brightside, atleast they're not lost forever 🙂

You want to select Import the SIM contacts to Account - iCloud.
This is where your iPhone contacts are located.

You are using Mac OS X and version less than 10.9?
I did that. It copies the contacts already on the phone to the iCloud. I have about two dozen contacts on my iPhone and over 100 on the SIM...
Oh and I don't have a Mac.
My old contacts don't import from my SIM
