About Your Phone, Battery and SIM Card 20
Your SIM Card
Your SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card was supplied by your Cellular Service Provider when
you bought your phone. You will not be able to make or receive calls if you do not have 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.

S key, remove the battery cover and the battery.
