    The iPhone does not store contacts on the SIM card. The only way that it uses the SIM card for contacts is if they were stored on the SIM by a previous phone (other than an iPhone) that you owned, it could do a one time import of those contacts. iPhone: Understanding SIM cards

     

    That doesn't answer why you are having the unknown number problem after changing SIMs but I hope it may help you figure out the reason.
