    If I asked my mom for her SIM card, she’d ask for her purse so she could attempt to find a credit card that doesn’t exist.

    She has no idea how a phone works in any capacity. I’m not being insulting about it, I am informing you of blatant and honest truth.

    My cousins, people my age are a hard maybe, I know two family members who went in-store recently. They treat their phones like cars. They use them and that’s as deep as it goes.

      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.
