Getting started
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 battery (if inserted) before you
insert or remove the SIM card.
PIN
You may need a PIN (Personal Identification Number) to
activate the services and functions in your phone. Your PIN
is supplied by your network operator. Each PIN digit
appears as *, unless it starts with emergency number digits
such as 112 or 911. You can see and call an emergency
number without entering a PIN, if a network is available.
If you enter the wrong PIN three times in a row, the SIM
card is blocked. See SIM card lock on page 33.
