Your SIM Card

Your credit card sized SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card is
supplied by your Cellular Service Provider when you buy your
phone. You will not be able to make or receive calls without a
SIM card inserted in your phone.

A

Some networks allow you to make emergency calls without a
SIM card inserted.

The SIM card is a ‘Smart Card’ that contains your phone number,
service details and memory for storing Phone Book numbers and
messages. You can therefore use your SIM card in someone else’s
GSM phone and you will be charged for the call.

Like a bank or credit card, you should keep your SIM card secure.
Do not bend or scratch your card and avoid exposure to static
electricity or water.

! Switch off your phone before inserting or removing the SIM

card. Failure to do so may damage the memory on your SIM
card.

SIM Card Insertion

Switch off your phone by
pressing

S and insert the

SIM card as shown. If the SIM
card is inserted the wrong
way round, or damaged, the
Check Card message will be
displayed. Remove the SIM
card, then properly re-insert it
into the phone.

If either of the
Bad Card See Supplier
or
Blocked See Supplier
messages are displayed,
contact your Cellular Service
Provider.

SIM Card Removal

Switch off your phone and
push the release button, on
the back of the phone,
towards the base. Pull the SIM
card out.
