Making calls
Most SIM cards come with a PIN (personal identification number) set by your mobile operator.
If you’re asked for a PIN, enter it and then tap
OK
.
If you enter the wrong PIN three times, your SIM card is blocked. To unlock your SIM card, see
“Restoring a SIM card that has been locked out” in the Security chapter.
Your phone’s antenna is placed underneath the bottom cover. We recommend that you secure
the bottom cover to the phone’s back panel to get the best radio reception for your phone.
