Exporting contacts to sim card?

I've searched and while there are questions/answers that are close, there's nothing exactly on point. So here goes.

It looks as if the Xperia X I got to run SFOS on a year ago isn't going to be brought totally up to date, and I need my daily driver to support things like wifi calling. Finding an iPhone SE, Apple-refurbished, for $96 US, I got it.

Now I need to export my contacts from SFOS to the sim card, which I can then pop into the iPhone and be on my way. (I'll keep the Xperia X and update SFOS on it as updates are released, in hope that oneday I can return to it.) On the BlackBerry where my sim card began its life, there was a simple "Export contacts to sim card" menu item, but I can't find this or anything like it in Sailfish. I'm hoping that this is due to something I overlooked.

So -- is there a way to export my contacts from SFOS to my sim card? And if there's not a GUI app, is there a way to do it from the terminal, perhaps in developer mode?

Thanks in advance for any information.
