Lots of answers, not many explained like a 5 year old so here it goes.

Your phone can do all of these things by itself. But it can’t do it without connecting to a network. It’s like a tree house. You can see it’s there, you know your friends are doing some awesome shit up there, but they won’t let you in without a password.

The SIM card is the password.
