A SIM card is required to access the existing local GSM network and remote
networks when traveling.
The SIM card contains:
• All the data necessary to access GSM services.
• The ability to store user information such as phone numbers.
• All information required by the network provider to provide access to the
network.
A personality transfer is required when a phone is Express Exchanged or when the
main board is replaced. Personality transfers reproduce the customer's original
personalized details such as menu and stored memory such as phone books, or even
just program a unit with basic user information such as language selection.
➧
Personality transfers performed at levels 1 and 2 service centers include only the
information stored on the SIM.
