Questions and Answers
In the majority of cases your M6000 phone is
supplied without a SIM card. You may find the
following ˆQuestions and Answers˜ (Q & A)
helpful.
Q − Why hasn’t the mobile phone been supplied with
a SIM card?
A − Many people already have a mobile phone and
wish to transfer their existing SIM card over to the
new phone. This has the advantage of keeping the
same telephone number and if the card is subscribed
to a Pay−as−you−go service then you also benefit
from being able to carry over any credit that has
Service−Hotline: 0844 800 6503 (Using an UK landline, at the time of going to print: calls cost 6p for connection
12
charge and then 5p a minute. Mobile costs may vary.)
Quick Start Guide
been paid the card.
Q − Where can I get a SIM card from?
A − Any high street mobile phone shop will be able to
provide you with a SIM card. Some of the major
supermarket chains also provide mobile phone
services and can supply a SIM card. A useful tip
when choosing a SIM card / service provider
however is to make sure that you have adequate
signal coverage at home; this particularly important if
you live in a very rural area.
Q − Why doesn’t the Amplicomms mobile phone have
a telephone number?
A − The telephone number is supplied by the service
provider and will be registered onto the SIM card.
Q − Can I use the SIM card from my old mobile
phone?
A − Yes as long as the SIM card is less than three
years old you can transfer the card over. Some old
SIM cards however are not compatible with the
Amplicomms mobile phone as they are from an
earlier generation of SIM card design.
Q − Can I use a SIM card from any mobile phone
company?
Service−Hotline: 0844 800 6503 (Using an UK landline, at the time of going to print: calls cost 6p for connection
charge and then 5p a minute. Mobile costs may vary.)
13
Quick Start Guide
A − Yes. The Amplicomms mobile phone is what is
termed as an open SIM card phone and so it is not
restricted to any particular service provider or mobile
phone company.
Q − How do I pay for my calls?
A − There are two main types of registration with a
service provider or mobile phone company. One is a
contract − this is where you sign up for agreed
contract over several months / year and pay an
agreed monthly fee. This is more suited to people
who are using their mobile phone as part of their job
for example. The other is Pay−as−you−go, sometimes
abbreviated to PAYG. With this type of service you
add credit to the card and top up as and when
required. Topping up the card is easy, you can do
this over the phone, on−line, at many shops and even
some cash points allow you to do this. PAYG is more
suited to less frequent users.
Q − How do I find out my credit balance?
A − The service provider of the SIM card should have
provided an information pack with the card. This will
give details of a short number to dial in order to
check your balance. These access codes differ
between mobile phone companies so please check
the details specific to your service provider. Key in
your number, press the talk button and the credit
balance will be announced to you.
