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 11 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.
