with a plug-in SIM card loaded with your subscription details,
such as your PIN, available optional services, and many
others features.

downward and that the notched corner of the card
goes in first.

Important!

The plug-in SIM card information and its contacts
can be easily damaged by scratching or bending,
so be careful when handling, inserting, or
removing the card. Keep all SIM cards out of reach
of small children.
