SIM card
A SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card is a
“smart chip” that is used with all handsets oper-
ating on GSM networks. The SIM contains all the
information the GSM1900 network needs to
identify the network user and also performs spe-
cific functions required by the network. Among
other things, the SIM card contains subscriber
and billing information, makes periodic location
updates with the network, and provides en-
hanced security features.
The SIM card can also store contact information.
The number of contacts that can be stored on a
SIM will vary from manufacturer to manufactur-
er. The SIM memory is referred to as Memory A,
and the phone memory as Memory B. You can
copy contact information from one memory loca-
tion to the other using the phone interface
Menu 8 3, see Chapter 13 "Phone interface: De-
tailed menus list - Memory functions (Menu 8)"
on page 13-13.
A valid SIM card (supplied by your network op-
erator) is required for making and receiving calls.
The network operator may prevent the use of the
communicator with any other but the operator’s
own SIM cards. If an unacceptable SIM card is
inserted, the message INVALID SIM CARD will be
displayed. Should this happen, contact your re-
tailer or network operator.
Note: Keep all SIM cards out of small children’s
reach.
