Importing contacts from old SIM to new SIM

[elifflower]

Hello

I recently unlocked my iPhone and of course now that I put my new sim in, my contacts are mostly all gone.

I need to recover the contacts from my old sim and install them on my new sim.

I have read tutorials on this about following these steps:
Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Import SIM contacts
And when I press import, I get an option for Facebook, iCloud and two of my email addresses.

Ideally I want to import the contacts to the iPhone memory, can I not do that?
I selected iCloud but how am I meant to find the contacts and put them on my new sim now that I have imported my old sim contacts to iCloud.

Thank you.

If you have imported your contacts into iCloud, they will automatically appear in Contacts on the phone and in Contacts on an iPad or Mac. Do you really need to put them on the sim?
