How you can insert the SIM card into the Lava Z71
Determined by the model of your Lava Z71, there are two possible solutions for inserting the SIM card. The right technique should therefore be 1 of the following.
Method 1: Insert the SIM card by the side of your Lava Z71
To insert the SIM card into your Lava Z71, initially find the slot that is usually on the side of the phone. It is rather easy to spot it because there is often a tiny hole next to it. If you have found it, you will have to insert a pointed object into the tiny hole next to the slot. As an example, you can make use of a paper clip to do so. By pushing into the hole, the SIM card rack should come out. You need to after that remove the rack from the slot. Simply insert the SIM card into this rack and re-insert it into your Lava Z71. That is it!
Method 2: Insert the SIM card from the back of the Lava Z71
If your Lava Z71 doesn’t have a slot on the side, this means that the SIM slot is on the back of the phone. The initially step will be to remove the cache on the back of the Lava Z71. To do this, you simply have to unfasten it with your fingertips. Once done, you should find out the location of the SIM card. Sometimes the location is under the battery. In this case, you have to remove the battery. All you have to do is insert the SIM card into your Lava Z71. Be careful to put it in the appropriate direction, the gold side of the card need to be down. Reassemble everything and it’s good!
The different types of SIM cards
There are three diverse types of SIM cards. Indeed, these 3 types differ according to their size. We so find:
- The SIM card: which is of regular size.
- The Micro SIM card: that is smaller than the standard size.
- The Nano SIM card: which is really very tiny. The chip covers almost the entire surface.
If you do not have the appropriate SIM card for your Lava Z71, you can ask your operator for another 1. There are as well adapters that may solve compatibility issues. Finally, when you have a standard SIM card, it can be cut to make it into Micro SIM or Nano SIM. At your peril.
