To secure your phone, you need:

to turn it off, remove the battery, then run over it with your car and melt the remains in a blast furnace. (A tactical nuke will suffice if a blast furnace is unavailable.)

My understanding is that some (most?) of your phone's remotely identifiable features are specific to the phone, rather than to the SIM card.
