Getting Started; Sim Card - NEC N343i User Manual

Getting Started

Your phone is equipped with a battery and a charger. Other optional accessories can customize your phone for maximum performance and mobility.
All the features described in this user guide are supported by your phone.
For all the features to work, you must have a valid SIM card (included in the package supplied by your service provider) that also supports these
features.
Even if you have a fully featured SIM card, any feature not supported by the network transmitting your call will not work. This last point is especially
important when you are roaming among networks.
Before you attempt to use your phone, check if you have:
• A valid SIM card inserted in the phone
• Fully charged battery
Service activation
Before you can use your new NEC phone, the service must be activated by your service provider. Please contact your local service provider
regarding phone activation.
Voice mail messaging and text messaging
Voice mail messaging and text messaging services, when available, are provided by your service provider. Before you can receive voice or text
messages with your phone, you must subscribe to these service options. Contact your service provider for information on the availability and setup of
these services.
Phone password
When your service is activated, a 4-8 digit PIN is programmed into the SIM. The PIN locks and unlocks your phone, and provides access to restricted
phone settings. Check with your service provider for additional information on your security PIN.

SIM card

Before using your phone, you must sign-up/register with a wireless network service provider to receive a personal SIM (Subscriber Identity Module). The
SIM card contains a computer chip that keeps track of your phone number, the services included in your subscription, and your SIM phonebook
information. It is stored in a recess in the battery compartment.
The phone is unusable (except for emergency calls) until a valid SIM card is inserted. It is possible to transfer your SIM card to another compatible
phone and access your network services. Your phone will display a warning message if the SIM card is not inserted properly.
The SIM card contains personal data such as your electronic phonebook, messages, as well as details of the network services you
have subscribed to. The phone will not work (except for emergency calls on some networks) unless a valid SIM is inserted.
If the phone or the SIM card is lost or stolen, you should contact your service provider immediately in order to prevent unauthorized
use.
