About this user’s guide
For ease of reference, the “Getting to know
your phone” chapter gives a quick overview of
the main functions of the phone, shortcuts and
general information.
More information and downloads are available at
www.SonyEricsson.com/ or wap.SonyEricsson.com/.
Available services
Some services and functions described in this user’s
guide are network- or subscription-dependent. Because
of this, all menus may not be available in your phone.
This symbol indicates that a
service or function is network or
subscription-dependent.
Please consult your network operator for
more information about your subscription.
The SIM card
When you register as a subscriber with a network
operator, you get a SIM (Subscriber Identity Module)
card. The SIM card contains a computer chip that
keeps track of your phone number, the services
included in your subscription, and your phone book
information, among other things.
Tip: Check if your information is saved to the SIM
card before you remove it from another phone. For
example, phone book entries may be saved in the
phone memory.

• Insert the SIM card.
• Attach and charge the battery. See “SIM card and
battery information” on page 6.

more information.

the SIM card is blocked and the message PIN blocked
appears. To unblock it, you need to enter your PUK

your network operator.
