On most Nokia's yes, you have to pop the back off to put the SIM card 
in, and some Nokia's, getting the back off can be tricky.

On most Nokia's at the back, near the base is a small flattened semi-
circular button that you are meant to push down as you push the cover 
forward. In theory this should be quite easy - in practice, not 
always.

I have found with difficult ones that it is best to put the phone 
face down on a soft cloth (to protect the front) and then using a 
normal writing pencil, push down on the button, quite hard and push 
forward at the same time. This will often move the cover.

Once the cover is off, the SIM card generally goes into a holder 
right near the base of the phone, with the battery located in the 
centre of the phone.
