The SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card, which you

about your subscription. Always turn off your phone
and detach the charger and the battery before you
insert or remove the SIM card.

You can see and call an emergency number without entering
a PIN. To use the SIM card lock or change your PIN code, see

You can save contacts on the SIM card before you
