Inserting The Sim Card - Blackberry 6710 Getting Started Manual

Inserting the SIM card

Your Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card stores information
about your service plan. It is configured by your service provider
and its configuration determines which applications are available to
you. When you first receive your handheld, the SIM card might be
inserted. If it has not been inserted, you must insert it into your
handheld before you can send and receive messages, place and
answer phone calls, or use the Browser application. You do not need
to insert your SIM card to place phone calls to emergency phone
numbers.
The SIM card fits into your handheld under the battery.
Warning: To prevent damage to your SIM card, verify that your
handheld is turned off before you insert or remove the card. Do not
scratch or bend the card or expose it to static electricity or wet
conditions while you insert or remove it.
Note: Before loading any software applications onto your handheld,
verify that your service provider or network operator has agreed to
support all of the features of the software application. Contact your
service provider or network operator for more information..
