HTC U Play: To insert the SIM card

Like any smartphone, the HTC U Play is also perfect for telephoning, for online services like e-mail retrieval and mobile surfing. In order for these features to work on the go, a SIM card is required, which allows access to the mobile network of your provider. We will show you how to insert the small card, how to insert a second SIM card and what to consider.

Like the vast majority of other smartphones from 2017, the HTC U Play requires a SIM card in nano format. You will receive the small card of the size of a fingernail from your mobile phone provider, where you should also report if you still have a card, but it has the wrong format. Do not try to cut the card with a pair of scissors: If the size of the SIM is only slightly reduced afterwards, this can damage the insert or lead to a connection break later.

Open and insert

The HTC U Play offers in some versions and regions the possibility to use two SIM cards at the same time. This can be especially worthwhile if you want to switch regularly between the mobile networks of several providers, because you are traveling a lot. If your HTC U Play supports the dual SIM function, however, you must decide whether you want to insert a second card of this type, or a microSD card for memory expansion, next to your first SIM.

To open the slot in which the cards are inserted, use the supplied tool. This is a small plate with a thin pin protruding from it. The latter has to be pressed slightly into the tiny hole, which is at the upper end of your HTC U Play slightly to the left of the middle axis when you see on the screen from above. Instead of the tool, you can also use a clipped office clip.

If you have done this, the sled for the SIM or memory card should have come a little way out of the HTC U Play. Pull it out completely to fill it better. Now place your first SIM card with the gold contacts down into the slide and into the smaller slot, which will later be located further back in the device. The second SIM or the memory card comes into the larger compartment and again with the contacts down. Then you can carefully slide the sled into the HTC U Play until it snaps into place.

Summary:


  • The HTC U Play supports the use of two SIM cards in some variants and regions
  • If you want to use the dual SIM feature, you do not have to use a memory extension using a microSD card because the second SIM and the memory card are inserted into the same slot
  • To get the SIM and memory card sled from the HTC U Ultra, press the tip of the supplied tool into the small opening at the top of the smartphone, slightly to the left of the center
  • The carriage jumps out slightly, so you can pull it out of the unit
  • The first SIM card with the gold contacts down into the field of the sled, which is later in the interior of the device
  • An optional second SIM card (for some variants of the smartphone) or a microSD memory card can be inserted into the second field of the sled
  • Then slide the sled with the cards back into the HTC U Play, until it locks into place
  • Be careful in doing so, and make sure that the carriage is aligned correctly
