SIM card
HTC One X uses a microSIM card. The microSIM card contains your phone number,
service details, and memory for storing phonebook contacts and/or text messages.
Inserting the SIM card
1. Hold HTC One X face down and the top panel facing you.
2. Insert the tip of the SIM eject tool (or a small bent paperclip) into the small hole
next to the SIM card tray slot. You should insert it at an angle.
3. Push the tip all the way into the hole until the SIM card tray ejects.
4. Pull the SIM card tray out, and place the SIM card (contacts facing down) into
the tray.
5. Insert the SIM card tray into its slot.
