MC9596-K Service Verification
MC9596-K phone and data services require a live SIM card, obtained from a service provider, installed in the
MC9596-K phone. The SIM card has embedded circuitry on one side of its surface which, when inserted into an
MC9596-K phone, provides phone service. The SIM card provides a phone number, determines the features or
services available to the subscriber, and identifies the subscriber to the network.
In addition to SIM card installation, the MC9596-K may require various settings to operate as a phone with data
connection features.
