We recommend reading the manual before inserting the new SIM card. When you turn on the phone, a PIN number is requested automatically. This is provided with your American prepaid SIM card. Enter the PIN carefully - if you get it wrong 3 times in a row, the SIM card will lock. To unlock it, you need to enter the PUK code, also supplied with the SIM card.

After you make your first call using your SIM card, you will then be able to receive incoming calls.
