WARNING: To avoid injury, read Important safety information on page 151 before using iPhone.
Install the SIM card
If you were given a SIM card to install, install it before setting up iPhone.
Important: A Micro-SIM card (iPhone 4 and iPhone 4s) or a Nano-SIM card (iPhone 5 or later) is
required in order to use cellular services when connecting to GSM networks and some CDMA
networks. An iPhone 4s or later that’s been activated on a CDMA wireless network may also use
a SIM card for connecting to a GSM network, primarily for international roaming. Your iPhone is
subject to your wireless service provider’s policies, which may include restrictions on switching
service providers and roaming, even after conclusion of any required minimum service contract.
Contact your wireless service provider for more details. Availability of cellular capabilities
depends on the wireless network.
