I would think it would need to be unlocked to read any sim info, i may be wrong tho.

Re: Contacts from Orange sim to new 3GS

If you use Outlook or similar then you could always just synch both phones with that.

No; you would need to jailbreak/unlock the iPhone.

If you don't want to unlock then as boltlock says use Outlook to sync both phones.

Alternativly, if you have an unlocked phone, copy all contacts from Orange SIM to unlocked handset, then copy all again to O2 SIM then copy all from O2 SIM to iPhone.

Good Luck!

p.s. If you jailbreak you can have things like this
