Easy steps on how to insert or remove SIM card for Galaxy S9
One of the first things that any Galaxy S9 user needs to do when unboxing a Galaxy S9 is to insert a SIM card. This is especially important if you have the GSM version of the Galaxy S9. Having a SIM card allows one to start using his or her network’s services in order to call, texts, or use the internet. Make sure that you have a nano SIM card to use in your Galaxy S9. If your current SIM card is not the nano type, it will not fit into the SIM card slot. Be sure to talk to your carrier on how to get a nano SIM card first.
