If you order or sign up for cell-phone service online or through a phone, chances are you will need to register the Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card that comes with it. The SIM card provides information to the phone that allows it to connect to the network you are using. Before you use your phone, you’ll have to set up the SIM card.
