English translation:SIM card
Explanation:
It's the international abbreviation of the chip used in all mobile devices --> Subscriber Identity Module

The SIM - Subscriber Identity Module - is a chip card, the size of a first class postage stamp. It is a key element in over 600 million GSM (Global System for Mobile) mobile phones - representing about 70 percent of the mobile handset market.
A SIM is actually a tiny computer in your phone. It has memory (for data and applications), a processor and the ability to interact with the user. Current SIMs typically have 16 to 64 kb of memory, which provides plenty of room for storing hundreds of personal phone numbers, text messages and value-added services.
