Hi,

You can use FileConnection and PIM API (JSR 75) for that. See PIM API for reading the contacts and FileConnection API for creating/reading files. Also, search the forum for related discussions and you might find some tips.

Quick addition to bogdan.galiceanu's answer.
If you are using S60 phones, the you cannot read the contacts on SIM card with PIM API (only contacts stored in the phone memory). On Series 40 phones you have acccess to those SIM contacts as well.
