That's not so informative without any idea of your age and thereby the ages of your examples.

Many of them could still follow the assembly/card insertion instruction sheet with pictures that comes in the mail from the phone company, even without knowing which part is called a SIM.

And maybe your area's phone stores aren't as notorious for overcharging as the UK's.
