The SIM Card
The SIM Card
Your i90cphone comes with a built-in level of security protection through the
use of the Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card, which you should have
already inserted into your new i90cphone. The SIM card stores all your
Phonebook information and your Boost Mobile account identification
information. Since this information is stored on the SIM card, not in your phone
itself, you can remove the information by removing the SIM card.
The SIM card is located in the SIM Card Holder on the back of the phone,
underneath the battery. You can verify that the SIM card is inplace by removing
the battery and viewing the SIM card through the SIM card cover.
See “Inserting/Removing the SIM Card” on page 14 for information on locating
the SIM card. If there is no SIM card in your phone, see boostmobile.com.
NOTE: Except for making emergency calls, your phone will not function without the
SIM card.
SIM Card Personal Identification Number (PIN)
To prevent unauthorized use of your account, you can protect your SIM card by
enabling the SIM PIN security feature. With the SIM PIN enabled, you must
enter your PIN each time the phone is powered on. You can change or disable
your PIN if desired.
NOTE: It is recommended that you enable the SIM PIN security feature to prevent
fraudulent use of the SIM card, your i90cphone, and your account.
Enabling/Disabling the SIM PIN Security Feature
When the SIM PIN security feature is enabled, you are prompted to enter your
PIN each time you turn on your phone. Until a valid PIN is entered, you can use
the phone only to make emergency calls.
After the SIM PIN is accepted, the phone registers on the network and the idle
screen displays.
When the SIM PIN security feature is disabled, the phone can be used without
entering a PIN.
IMPORTANT: It is recommended that you enable the SIM PIN security feature to protect
personal data on your SIM card. This prevents anyone from using your
phone and accessing your personal data.

Customer Care. For more information, see “Unblocking the SIM
PIN” on page 13.
