I am assuming you are keeping the same number, in which case the sim will have to be provisioned with your number. The sim should be active when you place it in your new phone (is this a O2 phone?) If not showing as active or showing any sort of error message, it may be that provisioning is not fully complete. Switch the phone on/off occasionally but also contact o2 customer services and they can advise you when provisioning will be completed. Usually takes up to 48 hours.
As for your contact numbers, if you had no backup on somewhere like Bluebook or on your PC, then your numbers are lost and you will need to start over :robotsad:

Call customer care on 08702410202 or 202 from an o2 Phone.

Your numbers wont get retrived though

If you we're brave, you could get a copy of your itemised bill, or view online, and ring/text each number asking who they are!

Long shot i know, but it's one way.
