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.
