Locating Your SIM Card

To start using your i870 phone:

• Make sure your SIM card is in place.

• Charge the battery.

• Activate your service.

• Enable over-the-air security if you are prompted

to.

Locating Your SIM Card

Your SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card is a

small piece of plastic located in the SIM card

holder in the back of your phone, underneath the

battery.

If your SIM card is not in the SIM card holder, it

may be in the box your phone came in, attached to

a piece of plastic about the size of a credit card. If

this is the case, carefully detach your SIM card

from the surrounding plastic and insert it as

described in “Inserting Your SIM Card” on page 16.

If there is no SIM card in your phone or the box,

contact your service provider.
