insert your USIM Card
Look for the plastic card that is in your Orange box. If you can’t find it, the USIM
Card may have already been inserted into your phone. If it is not in your phone or
your box, please return to the shop that you bought the phone from and ask for a
USIM Card.
1 Remove the USIM Card from its plastic surround by carefully pushing it out.
Its contacts are easily damaged so take care when doing this and try to avoid
touching them.
2 Remove the battery cover by squeezing the tabs at the top, and gently sliding the
cover off.
3 Insert your USIM Card under the metal holders and into the USIM Card holder, so
that the cut off corner fits into the surround.
The USIM card is used in your 3G phone to give access to the 3G network and
services. If you do not register your new USIM, found in your handset box, you
will not have access to our 3G products and services. If you’ve upgraded your
phone you must insert your new USIM Card to use 3G services and Multi Media
Messaging. Your Orange phone number will not change.
