Setting up your device
To set up your BlackBerry 10 device, you need a micro SIM card. If you don't have a SIM card or don't have the right type of
SIM card, contact your service provider.
If you want more storage for pictures, videos, music, and documents, insert a media card (microSD card).
When you're ready, open the Setup app. This app helps you transfer content from your old device, and add your email,
BBM, instant messaging, and social networking accounts.
Insert the SIM card
CAUTION: Your BlackBerry device is designed for use with a micro SIM card. To avoid possible damage to your device, do
not insert a SIM card adapter into your device.
