Before you start:

  2. Remove the tray by inserting a paper clip or the provided tool into the tray's hole and sliding it out.
  3. Gently pull out the SIM card from the tray.
  4. Insert the SIM card into the tray, making sure it's aligned properly and seated firmly.

Additional steps:

  2. Your phone may ask you to select your carrier or network. Choose your carrier from the list.
  3. Your phone may also ask you to agree to the terms and conditions of your carrier's service.
  4. Wait for the activation process to complete. This may take a few minutes.
  5. Once activated, you should see your carrier's logo and your phone's signal strength indicator should start working.
