Using the Phone Features

Activating Your Phone Service

Before you are able to use the phone feature on your HP iPAQ, you need 

to subscribe with a mobile phone service provider.

NOTE:  If you purchased your HP iPAQ from a mobile service provider, 

phone service may be activated at time of purchase or the mobile service 

provider may include activation instructions.  

If you have purchased a prepaid SIM card to use with your HP iPAQ or, if 

your service provider issued you a SIM card with a preset PIN, the 

following information is not applicable.

After you select a service provider, you must place a phone call to the 

service provider to activate your mobile phone service. Your carrier may 

require the following information to activate your card:

• SIM Card Serial Number (printed on the box label or on the 

back of the SIM card)

• IMEI Number (printed on the system label under the 

removable battery)

Your mobile phone service representative will give you your wireless phone 

number and walk you through setting up your service.
