Today I went to the store and asked for a new SIM, and I asked them why did my SIM got fried. The answer was simple: Was your phone using the 3G+/4G connection? YES, it's always connected! Well that's why your SIM burned out, you have a standard SIM not a USIM (3G+) card, and it got overloaded and it burned out, and this is because the SIM card you were using was not designed to take that much stress.
So now I bought a Micro USIM 3G+ (for a very good price, with a extra 1GB 3G+ internet traffic) and now I have warranty for it.
For UMTS you need the UMTS application (USIM), for GSM the GSM application. The card itself is the same, namely a UICC which is what people usually call "SIM card".
Unless you got your SIM card in the early 90s any modern telephone will have no issues with it.
Perhaps the "root-cause" of all your problems is the fact that you (apparently) like blowing stuff up using soldering irons, hair driers and who knows what. If you stop that and learn how things work you might stop having problems.

First of all the USIM is THE NEXT VERSION OF THE NORMAL SIM, with a better chip, more resistent, more secure, that can handle the stress of 3G internet browsing or 3G video calls much better than an ordinary sim.
I see you, before leaving this reply over here, didn't make any reasearch. So from now on, before coming here and say stuff like that to me, READ THE F**KING GOOGLE, ASK SOME PROFESSIONALS IN SERVICE, and then come here and say what you have to say. I did that before writing my last reply, did you?

You can either insult reinob, or learn something...
You seem to believe the guys who are ripping you off so much I'd say you should check yourself for stockholm syndrome....
A SIM is just a bloody chip that holds keys and some memory. SIM/USIM relates to the software that runs on that chip (in VM).

In 2G networks, the SIM card and SIM application were bound together, so that "SIM card" could mean the physical card, or any physical card with the SIM application. In 3G networks, it is a mistake to speak of a USIM, CSIM, or SIM card, as all three are applications running on a UICC card.
And the explanation given to me is pure reality + your explanation made perfect sense. That "normal sim" that I was using was maybe not so well built, the phone stressing it out with 24/7 3G+ network access burnt it faster than it was supposed to.

If you were using 3G you were already using a 3G-capable SIM, i.e. what you call "USIM".
And read what petur has written above: a SIM card is only used for authentication. It doesn't play any role during data transmission (you don't need a SIM card to use GSM. try calling 112 without a SIM card).
But hey, maybe things are different in your country.
