SIM card
The SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card, which you
get from your network operator, contains information
about your subscription. Always turn off your phone
and detach the charger and the battery before you
insert or remove the SIM card.
PIN code
You may need a PIN (Personal Identification Number) to
activate the services in your phone. Your PIN is supplied by
your network operator. Each PIN digit appears as *, unless it
starts with emergency number digits, for example, 112 or 911.
You can call an emergency number without entering a PIN.
Memory Stick Micro™
Your phone supports Memory Stick Micro™ (M2™). A memory
card adds more storage space to your phone, for example, for
music, ringtones, video clips and pictures. You can share your
saved information by moving or copying it to other memory
card compatible devices.
You can save contacts on the SIM card before removing it
from your phone. You can also save contacts in the phone
memory. See Contacts on page 26.
If you enter the wrong PIN three times in a row, PIN blocked
appears. To unblock it, you need to enter your PUK (Personal
Unblocking Key).
