The Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM)

GSM is a cellular network, which means that mobile phones connect to it by searching for cells in the immediate vicinity. GSM networks operate in four different frequency ranges. Most GSM networks operate in the 900 MHz or 1800 MHz bands.

One of the key features of GSM is the Subscriber Identity Module (SIM), commonly known as a SIM card. The SIM is a detachable smart card containing the user's subscription information and phonebook. This allows the user to retain his or her information after switching handsets. Alternatively, the user can also change operators while retaining the handset simply by changing the SIM. Some operators will block this by allowing the phone to use only a single SIM, or only a SIM issued by them; this practice is known as SIM locking, and is illegal in some countries.

first part of your question has been answered by quite a few already.
for the second part the answer is, prepaid is you pay first and then use service upto the limit of payment,
and post paid also means same thing, what should have been actually called post use ( you are billed for the services availed).
some stupid half literate guy started using the phrase, flock continued to follow the suit.
