MC5574 Service Verification
MC5574 phone and data services require a live SIM card, obtained from a service provider, installed in the MC55
phone. The SIM card has embedded circuitry on one side of its surface which, when inserted into an MC55 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 MC55 may require various settings to operate as a phone with data
connection features.
Ensuring Network Coverage
1. Ensure an activated SIM card, from the phone service provider, is installed in the MC55.
2. Verify active phone and data services by tapping to display the Phone dialog. The Carrier name appears in
