Unfortunately, the iPhone does not work with contacts saved on your SIM. You need to use the Pam Desktop to move your old contacts to your PC. Then, use iTunes to sync back your Windows Contacts with your new iPhone. If you don't want to use iTunes, you can use a more direct way to copy iPhone contacts directly to the iPhone.

Make sure you have a sim card on your iPhone then just go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars then scroll down until you see the option Import Sim Contacts and click on it to copy all your contacts to your iPhone

Hi there,
This type of errors occur when you jailbreak your set, if you want to copy your contacts from the sim try with another Sim in your phone, if it gives error with all Sims, then you can copy your contacts in the Outlook and then synchronize your contacts with iPhone,
To copy your contacts to outlook, take any nokia phone capable of connecting with usb to computer and nokia pc suite, make your contacts syncronize with outlook firstly from nokia,
when you got your contacts in outlook , connect your iphone 3g with computer, and itunes will show you your set, then go to info and sync contacts with outlook, click on apply and then sync, all of your contacts will be sync and you will see the contacts in iphone,
If you require more assistance regarding this, feel free to reply to this post

sorry if this seems a little confusing!

Hope it helps!!
