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 .
I don't know what sort of ******** they keep telling you and/or you keep telling us. A SIM card is a SIM card, regardless of whether you use GSM or UMTS.

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.
