Wiki amswer is better than my attempt:

"A Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) is part of a removable smart card ICC
(Integrated Circuit Card), also known as SIM Cards, for mobile cellular
telephony devices such as mobile computers and mobile phones. SIM cards
securely store the service-subscriber key (IMSI) used to identify a
subscriber. The SIM card allows users to change phones by simply removing the
SIM card from one mobile phone and inserting it into another mobile phone or
broadband telephony device."
