Hello Joshua, This is only a guess but it sounds to me as though your current legacy phone is several years old. If this is, in fact, the case, then, most likely, the SIM that it uses will be larger than the nanno SIM used in many modern phones. If this is the case, then your new phone will be activated using a new SIM card.
This is not to say that Apple cannot transfer your contacts from one device to another but, to be honest, I wouldn't count on it. I say this so that you will not be disappointed if Apple cannot transfer your data. The good news is that, assuming that you are not going to trade in your legacy phone, you will still have access to its contents. Again, this is only a guess. Good luck and let us know what happens.

My very helpful and reliable LG TERRA flip phone has finally decided to die and not come on. It does have a sim card in it where I know all my contacts are stored. Since I'll be getting my new iPhone this Wednesday, will the folks at the apple store be able to take out my sim card and transfer the contacts to my new iPhone 8? -- Joshua Hendrickson Joshua Hendrickson -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
