Put a SIM card into the Android Phone (Video tutorial)

In this brief, under 3-minute video, we present how to insert the SIM card into the phone. The steps can be followed from unpacking the SIM card until the Android operating system recognizes the SIM cards and they appear in the Ozeki Android SMS gateway as active SIM cards. At first, we eject the SIM tray from the phone using the SIM pin. Following that, we unbox the SIM card and carefully break out the right-sized SIM card from the cardholder. After that, we put the SIM card into the SIM tray, then reinsert the SIM tray into the phone, ensuring it is oriented correctly. Join us for this straightforward and informative tutorial on Android SMS gateway setup with a single SIM.

Step 1 - Remove the SIM tray from the phone

To use the Ozeki Android SMS gateway, first you have to insert a sim card into your phone. In the picture, at the left bottom corner of the phone, you can see a small rectangular thing, that's the SIM-tray, and between the boxes and the phone, there is an oval-shaped metal thing, that's the sim card pin. You have to locate the SIM tray on your phone. It is usually a small hole on the side or top of the phone, insert the SIM pin into the hole and press firmly. The SIM tray should pop out slightly (see Figure 1).

Step 2 - Place the SIM card into the SIM tray

In the shop, you can purchase the SIM card with the activation paper. Open the package and take out the SIM card holder frame. Inside the frame, you can extract the SIM card in two different sizes. Take the SIM tray and check if you can insert the smaller or the larger size into it. In the video, we can see the smaller card. Carefully pop the SIM card out of the frame. Be cautious not to damage the card, as we won't be able to make calls or send SMS messages afterward. now locate the notched corner of the SIM card, and insert the SIM card into the SIM tray with the notched corner facing down. Then push the SIM card into the tray until it clicks into place (see Figure 2).

Step 3 - Reinsert the SIM tray into the phone

First, you need to determine the correct orientation for inserting the SIM card into your phone (see Figure 3). Be sure not to force it the wrong way, as it could damage the SIM card. After successfully inserting your SIM card, turn on your phone and you'll come to the "Setup your SIMs" screen. Press "Next" to proceed. If you have multiple SIM cards in your phone, select "SIM1" and press "Next" on the Messages screen. Repeat this process on the Data screen. Finally, you'll see your active SIM cards, and you can confirm the setup by pressing "Done." The SIM card insertion is complete. If you had the Ozeki Android SMS Gateway installed on your phone previously, in the next section, you'll see how the data shown in the app when two SIM cards are inserted.
