1. How do I insert a SIM card in the 8830?

   SIM Card is a small, rectangular, plastic card that stores important information about your wireless service. To insert the card, please do the following:

   1. Press the battery cover release button.
   2. Slide off the battery cover.
   3. If the battery is inserted, remove the battery.
   4. Remove the SIM Card from any packaging.
   5. Hold the SIM Card so that the metal contacts on the SIM Card face down and the cutoff corner points toward the lower-right corner of the BlackBerry device.
   6. Slide the SIM Card into the SIM slot until it stops.
      NOTE: One end of the SIM Card should be hidden under the plastic casing on your device.
   7. Insert the battery so that the BlackBerry logo faces up and the metal contacts on the battery align with the metal contacts on your device.
   8. Slide the battery cover back onto the device so that it clicks into place.

2. Can I save TXT files to the SD card?
   Currently, users cannot open up non-media files on the 8830. Users may only view attachments in emails. However, with the Handheld 4.5 software update (previously known as 4.3.1), Dataviz’s WordToGo software allows users to edit word documents directly on their BlackBerry. Future software updates will allow users to use PowerPoint and Excel, as well.
