    Hello ydkhare123.

     

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. I see some of your contacts aren't transferring correctly from your previous phone's SIM card to your new iPhone. I'm happy to help you with this.

     

    First, let's ensure we are completing the process correctly by following this Apple knowledge base article:

    Import contacts from your SIM card to your iPhone

     

    Be sure to check out this section of the article:

    The contact information imported from a SIM card depends on how your previous phone stored information on the SIM card. For more help with importing contacts from a non-Apple phone, check the manufacturer’s website, app store, or contact your carrier.

     

    Have a nice day.
