Locating the SIM Card

Your SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card is a small card inserted into the SIM card holder within your phone below the battery.

If no SIM card came with your phone, contact Nextel Customer Service at 1-800-639-6111.

Most users will never need to remove or insert the SIM card. However, if it becomes necessary, follow the instructions in “Removing and Inserting the SIM Card” on page 10.

Important: The SIM card is designed for optimal Contacts

storage and feature use. For Nextel SIM card compatibility information, visit

www.nextel.com/sim.

In some cases, Contacts and Groups may not be accessible if you move your SIM card to another phone. Contacts and Groups created with your i890 phone may not be readable by an older iDEN SIM-based phone.

Note: Long backlight settings, searching for service, vibrate

mode, browser use, and other variables may reduce the battery’s talk and standby times.

Tip: Watch your phone’s battery level indicator and charge the

battery before it runs out of power.

and Safety” on page 160.

Nextel-approved and Motorola-approved batteries and accessories can be found at Sprint Stores or through Motorola. You may order online at
