SIM card

Your phone uses a microSIM card. The microSIM card contains your phone number, service details, and memory for storing phonebook contacts and/or text messages.

Your Verizon Wireless micro SIM card

Use your Verizon Wireless micro SIM card to make and receive calls, text, and email messages and surf the Web while traveling outside of the U.S. in supported destinations.
Your micro SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card stores your phone number and other important information. Do not bend or scratch your micro SIM card. Avoid exposing it to static electricity, water or dirt. If your micro SIM card is lost or damaged while in the U.S., please dial *611 from your Verizon Wireless device or 1-800-922-0204 from any phone to speak with a Customer Service Representative.
