Before moving to the SIM activation process, here is a quick guide on how to install the SIM on your smartphone.

Steps for Installing the QLink SIM card

Although SIM installation is a simple process, we are providing this step-by-step procedure to avoid any mistakes especially in cutting out the correct SIM size. So, follow the process carefully.

  • Turn off your phone.
  • Remove the present SIM card. You can use the SIM-card eject tool in your kit. Push the tool into the small hole next to the SIM tray. The SIM card tray will eject out.
  • Take out the old SIM card and look closely at the QLink SIM card. You will see three cut-out sizes. Compare the old SIM with the new one to determine the correct SIM size. Now punch out the SIM as per the appropriate size. If this is your first SIM or you don’t have any old SIM, check online for the SIM size that will fit into your phone.
  • Once you have the correct-sized SIM, put it into your phone.
  • Turn on the phone. The SIM is installed successfully.

After successfully installing a SIM installation, you need to activate it to enjoy the services.
