Installing Your SIM Card

Before installing your SIM card

1. Grab your SIM Kit—it's got your SIM card and SIM ejector tool.
2. Make sure your phone's software is up-to-date with the latest version.

Step 1: Turn Down Your Phone & Locate the SIM Card Tray

To locate the SIM card tray, check the side or bottom edge of your phone. Look for a small hole used to eject the tray.

Step 2: Pop Out the SIM Card Tray

Take note of how your SIM card tray is oriented by checking the direction of the hole. Trust us, this will save you a headache. Insert the provided SIM ejector tool into your phone's SIM card tray hole. Push gently until the tray pops out.

Step 3: Place Your New SIM Into the Tray

Next, grab the new Boost Mobile SIM card from your SIM Kit. It's a small chip that pops out of a larger plastic card. Pop out the SIM card and place it in the tray. The SIM card tray has a small notch in one corner, so the SIM card will only fit one way.

Step 4: Insert the SIM Card and Activate Your Phone

With your phone facing you, push the SIM card tray back in until it clicks shut. You're all set to activate! Power up your phone, head to boostmobile.com/start and follow the on-screen instructions to finish activation.
