used. If you have this type of SIM card, please contact your mobile
network service provider to obtain a replacement (with 3V tech-
nology). Never attempt to operate your telephone with an incompat-
ible SIM card, as this can cause damage to the card or your tele-
phone.
•The SIM card contacts can be easily damaged by scratches or
bending. For this reason, handle the SIM card with care.
Note
•When using a twin card please follow the recommendations of
your provider. Otherwise, you may experience connection problems
and callers may not be able to reach you.
•You can also enter the PIN and PUK using the MMI

•If you are using a twin card in the handset, you should activate
the PIN query
page 98. The SIM card in the vehicle is then only
activated when you enter the PIN.
