charger before you insert or remove the SIM card.
You can save contacts on the SIM card before you remove it from your phone.
PIN
You may need a PIN (Personal Identification Number) to activate the services and functions
in your phone. Your PIN is supplied by your network operator. Each PIN digit appears as
*, unless it starts with emergency number digits, for example, 112 or 911. You can see and
call an emergency number without entering a PIN.
If you enter the wrong PIN three times in a row, the SIM card is blocked. See SIM protection on
page 45.

After you have turned on your phone and entered your PIN, the name of the network
operator appears. This view is called standby. Your phone is now ready for use.
Using other networks
Making and receiving calls, using messaging and data transfer, for example, Internet-based
services, outside your home network (roaming) may incur additional costs. Contact your
operator for more information.
