About this User’s Guide

Some services and functions described in this User’s Guide are network- and subscription-dependent. Because of this, all menus may not be available in your phone and the shortcut numbers to menus and functions may vary between phones.

This symbol indicates that a service or

function is network- or operator-dependent.

Please refer to the information provided by your network operator for more information about your subscription.

We recommend that you read the chapter “Getting to know your phone” on page 7 for information about how to move through the menus.

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.
