Some SIM cards will require you to enter a PIN code. Fol-
low the prompts on the screen.
The SIM code (PIN of the SIM card) that you received with
your SIM card, protects the SIM card against unauthorised
use. The PIN2 code supplied with some SIM cards, you
need to access certain services. If you enter the PIN or
PIN2 code incorrectly three times in a row, you will be
prompted to enter the PUK or PUK2 code. Check with your
provider if you do not know these codes.
Make sure you are in range of your Network
Some networks offer better coverage than others in diffe-
rent areas. The icon indicates you have a signal and
are connected to the network. The network will also ap-
pear in the display.

Questions and Answers
In the majority of cases your M7000 phone is supplied
without a SIM card. You may find the following “Questions
and Answers“ (Q & A) helpful.
Why hasn’t the mobile phone been supplied with a SIM
card?
Many people already have a mobile phone and wish to
transfer their existing SIM card over to the new phone.
This has the advantage of keeping the same telephone

number and if the card is subscribed to a Pay−as−you−go
service then you also benefit from being able to carry over
any credit that has been paid on the card.
Where can I get a SIM card from?
Any high street mobile phone shop will be able to provide
you with a SIM card. Some of the major supermarket
chains also provide mobile phone services and can supply
a SIM card. A useful tip when choosing a SIM card / ser-
vice provider however is to make sure that you have ade-
quate signal coverage at home; this is particularly impor-
tant if you live in a very rural area.
Why doesn’t the mobile phone have a telephone number?
The telephone number is supplied by the service provider
and will be registered onto the SIM card.
Can I use the SIM card from my old mobile phone?
Yes as long as the SIM card is less than three years old
you can transfer the card over. Some old SIM cards howe-
ver are not compatible with the Amplicomms mobile

phone as they are from an earlier generation of SIM card
design.
Can I use a SIM card from any mobile phone company?
Yes. The Amplicomms mobile phone is what is termed as
an open SIM card phone and so it is not restricted to any
particular service provider or mobile phone company.
How do I pay for my calls?
There are two main types of registration with a service
provider or mobile phone company. One is a contract −
this is where you sign up for an agreed contract over seve-
ral months / year and pay an agreed monthly fee. This is
more suited to people who are using their mobile phone
as part of their job for example. The other is
Pay−as−you−go, sometimes abbreviated to PAYG. With
this type of service you add credit to the card and top up
as and when required. Topping up the card is easy, you
can do this over the phone, on−line, at many shops and
even some cash points allow you to do this. PAYG is more

suited to less frequent users.
How do I find out my credit balance?
The service provider of the SIM card should have provided
an information pack with the card. This will give details of
a short number to dial in order to check your balance.
These access codes differ between mobile phone compa-
nies so please check the details specific to your service
provider. Key in your number, press the talk button and
the credit balance will be announced to you.
