Inserting the SIM Card

Before you can begin operation of your mobile phone, you need to insert the SIM card that was provided by AT&T. Full functionality of your device can only be ensured when the AT&T SIM card is inserted properly.

Insert the SIM card as follows:

1. Make sure that the phone is switched off and the charger is disconnected from the phone.

2. Turn the phone over and remove the battery cover.

3. Remove the battery if it is already installed.

What is a SIM card?

Your mobile phone has a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card. This is a microchip that holds your personal information, such as names and phone numbers. Your phone will not function properly without it. If you already have contacts on your SIM card, they can be transferred in most cases.
