Are all SIM cards (for cell phones) the same? Is newer better than older? Do they have different amounts of memory?

I'll just bump up your thread, since I don't know much about the subject, and I'm feeling lazy to type a full response. LOL

Fido gives you a new one when you purchase a new phone so I've never had to buy one. However I did inquire recently and if I remember correctly they were $40.
Ask your provider, they might just give you one.

Most providers will allow you to change the phone number for about $35. It has to be a number from the same provider though (i.e. Fido-fido)
You can buy sim cards (i.e. takeover existing contracts) on ebay:

Some contracts might have features that aren't offered anymore like unlimited incoming calls or unlimited data.
You can buy a new SIM card for $25 at any Rogers store. Then you call in and activate it for what ever number you currently have, replacing your current SIM card.
SIM cards do wear out on the contact points. No free exchanges, $25.
I suppose Bell is similiar.

They can definitely put your current number onto the new sim. Call them *611, they will do it over the phone.
You can always buy new ones on Howard Forums for a little less then what they go for at Rogers or Fido.

You can ask your service provider to transfer your info onto a new Sim Card.
Bell does not have Sim Cards. Presently, only Rogers and Fido (Same mother company) use Sim Cards as the operate on the GSM Networks. Bell and Telus do not work on GSM, they use the old, I think it's called TDMA, network.
