8 2. Phone Basics
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, use your fingernail to
press down on the battery door latch and slide it
towards the top of the phone to remove it.
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 Debut i856 phone 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.
