Locating the SIM Card
Your SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card is a small
card inserted into the SIM card holder within your
phone below the battery.
If no SIM card came with your phone, contact Nextel
Customer Service at 1-800-639-6111.
Most users will never need to remove or insert the SIM
card. However, if it becomes necessary, follow the
instructions in “Removing and Inserting the SIM Card”
on page 8.
Removing and Inserting the SIM Card
To remove your SIM card:
1. With your phone powered off, turn the release tab
counter-clockwise to release the battery cover, and
then remove the battery cover from the back of the
phone.
2. Remove the battery, and then use your thumbs to
carefully slide the SIM card out from under the
edge.
Important: The SIM card is designed for optimal Contacts
storage and feature use. For Nextel SIM card
compatibility information, visit
www.nextel.com/sim.
In some cases, Contacts and Groups may not be
accessible if you move your SIM card to another
phone. Contacts and Groups created with your
MOTOROLA BRUTE may not be readable by an
older iDEN SIM-based phone.
Important: To avoid losing information stored in your SIM
card, do not remove it from your phone unless
absolutely necessary.
