Notes:
• Users should be aware that when using this AT command quickly after SIM PIN authentication, the SIM data
may not yet be accessible, resulting in a short delay before the requested AT command response is returned.
See Section 20.1, Restricted Access to SIM Data after SIM PIN Authentication.
• If the SIM card is changed, all records of the “MC”, “RC” and “LD” phonebooks stored on the ME will be deleted
automatically. If the same SIM is removed and reinserted, no automatic deletion is performed. Calls made after
last switch-on will be lost from “MC”, “RC” and “LD” phonebook, if the SIM is removed and reinserted during
normal operation.
