Preparing Your Phone for Use
5
You need to do the following to use your phone:
insert the SIM card
attach the battery to the phone
charge the battery
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.
SIM cards come in two sizes. One is the size of a credit card, and the 
other is smaller. Your phone uses the smaller card. Many credit card-
sized SIM cards have a perforated smaller card that you can take out 
easily. Before you can use your phone, you must insert the SIM card 
as shown below.
