Take advantage of fast broadband speeds
You must have a 3G SIM card in your Palm®Treo™ 750 smart device to take
advantage of fast broadband speeds. To determine if you have a 3G SIM
card, look for “3G” to the left of the gold connector on the back of the
card.
If you do not have a 3G SIM card, please visit your local AT&T retail store to
swap your existing SIM card for a 3G SIM card. There is no charge for
exchanging your SIM card for a 3G SIM card.
Tip
Your phone won’t
work without a SIM
card. The SIM card is
usually preinstalled
in your Treo 750,
unless you’re
upgrading from
another AT&T
phone. Check to
see if the SIM card is
installed. It’s
located in a cutout
in the lower-right
corner of the
battery
compartment. See
"I need to insert my
SIM card" on page
38 for more
information.
If you need a SIM
card, call AT&T
customer care at
