The SIM Card

The SIM Card

Your i95cl phone comes with a built-in level of security protection through the
use of the SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card, which you should have
alreadyinsertedintoyournewi95cl phone. The SIM card stores all your
Phonebook information and your Boost Mobile account identifi cation
information. Since this information is stored on the SIM card, not in your phone
itself, you can remove the information by removing the SIM card.

The SIM card is located in the SIM Card Holder on the back of the phone,
underneaththe battery.You can verify that the SIM card is i n place by removing
the battery and viewing the SIM card through the SIM card cover.

See “Inserting/Removing the SIM Card” on page 14 for information on locating
the SIM card. If there is no SIM card in your phone, see boostmobile.com.

NOTE: Except for making emergency calls, your phone will not function without the

SIM card.

SIM Card Personal Identification N umber (PIN)

To prevent unauthorized use of your account, you can protect your SIM card by
enabling the SIM PIN security feature. With the SIM PIN enabled, you must
enter your PIN each time the phone is powered on. You can change or disable
your PIN if desired.

NOTE: It is recommended that you enable the SIM PIN security feature to prevent

fraudulent use of the SIM card, your i95cl phone, and your account.

Enabling/Disabling t he PIN Security Feature

When the PIN security feature is enabled, you are prompted to enter your PIN
each time you turn on your phone. Until a valid PIN is entered, you can use the
phone only to make emergency calls.

After the PIN is accepted, the phone registers on the network and the idle screen
displays.

When the PIN security feature is disabled, the phone can be used without
entering a PIN.

IMPORTANT: It is recommended that you enable the PIN security feature to protect

personal data on your SIM card. This prevents anyone from using your
phone and accessing your personal data.

Using T 9®Text Input

Your i95cl phone has embedded software,called T9®Text Input, that makes
typing on a phone keypad much like typing on a computer keyboard — it
eliminates the traditional “multi-tap” m ethod of text entry. As you type, you
pressonly one key per letter. T9 Text Input matches your keystrokes t o words in
its linguistic database of approximately 60,000 words and proper names. You
may also store additional words you frequently use in your own user database,
which is incorporated into the T9 database.

T9 Text Input is available when you are typing information into your phone (for
example, in the Phonebook or Datebook) and while using Boost Wireless Web
services.

Pause Digit Entry

When storing a number, you can program your phone so it will not only dial a
number, but also pause before entering another series of numbers such as a
personal ident ification number (PIN)or password. This feature is particularly
useful for accessingautomatedservices such as yourhome voice mailfrom your
i95cl phone.

Example: Let’s say you have a home voice mail account that you want to check
while out at an event. And, to access that account you must do the following:

• dial your home telephone number

• press # while the home voice mail greeting is being played

• enter your PIN to access your messages

You can program your phone to enter all of the above information for you by
separating each entry with a pause. The stored data would look like this:
2135551234P#P1234. In this example, the first ten-digits represent the number
that must be dialed to access your home voice mail.The P represents a 3 second
pause. The # interruptsyour greeting. The second P represents another 3 second
pause. The last four digits represent your PIN.

To create a three-second pause, press and hold* for two seconds.The
pause symbol (P) will appear on the display screen.

NOTE: You can enter up to 20 characters in a single entry, stored or dialed. You can

program your phone to pause for more than three seconds. Performing the
