This phone requires a 4G LTE SIM card to connect to the 4G LTE™ network. Prior to turning on the phone please insert the 4G LTE SIM card as instructed below. This 4G LTE SIM card will only work with this phone. Once the card has been inserted, do not remove!

If your 4G LTE SIM card is ever separated from the phone or damaged, your phone will not fully

function. If you experience any issues with your phone, contact customer service at 1-888-944-9400 or visit your nearest U.S. Cellular® retail location.
