Installing the SIM card and battery
Risk of swallowing small objects!
The SIM card can be removed.
Small children can swallow them.
Pay attention that the SIM card is not bent or
scratched. Prevent any contact with water, dirt or
electrical charges.
Your telephone number is carried by the SIM card, not
the phone. Therefore if you use a SIM card you had in a
previous phone, you will keep the same phone number.
• Switch the phone off.
• Remove the battery cover by pressing on it in the area
beneath the SOS key, slide it down and take it off.
• If there is already a battery inside, remove it.

the PUK or PUK2 code. Check with your provider if you do not
know these codes.

Questions and Answers
In the majority of cases your M6700 phone is supplied with out
a SIM card. You may find the following “Questions and
Answers“ (Q & A) helpful.
Why hasn’t the mobile phone been supplied with a SIM card?
Many people already have a mobile phone and wish to trans-
fer 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 been
paid on the card.
Where can I get a SIM card from?
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 howev-
er is to make sure that you have adequate signal coverage at
home; this is particularly important if you live in a very rural
area.
Why doesn’t the mobile phone have a telephone number?
The telephone number is supplied by the service provider and
will be registered onto the SIM card.

QUICK START GUIDE
Can I use the SIM card from my old mobile phone?
Yes, usually you can transfer the SIM card over. However,
some old SIM cards are not compatible with the Amplicomms
mobile phone as they are from an earlier generation of SIM
card design.
Can I use a SIM card from any mobile phone company?
Yes. The Amplicomms mobile phone is what is termed as an
open SIM card phone and so it is not restricted to any particu-
lar service provider or mobile phone company.
How do I pay for my calls?
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 an 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 abbrevi-
16

ated 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.
How do I find out my credit balance?
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.
