How to replace the SIM card in a comma 3X

Replace the SIM card in your comma 3X and activate the new card.

All comma 3Xs come with a SIM card. The SIM slot is a push/pull mechanism: push on the card to release it, then guide it out.

Replace the SIM card

Make sure your SIM is inserted correctly by following the step-by-step guide below:

Steps to insert a comma 3X SIM card

  1. With the comma 3X off and unplugged, tap/push the SIM card with the big SIM card, credit card, or other narrow hard object to release the SIM (you will hear a click).
  2. Gently pull the SIM card from the SIM slot (try tweezers).
  3. Push the SIM card into the SIM slot (with the metal contacts facing downwards) with your fingernail or plastic card until you hear a click or reach resistance. If you've done this step correctly, the SIM card should stay completely recessed inside the comma 3X.

We recommend you clean the camera lenses with a microfiber cloth before using the comma 3X again.

Activate the new SIM card

Once your new SIM card is installed, your comma 3X will need to connect to Wi-Fi to activate the SIM card. The best ways to get your comma 3X online are to use your phone's hotspot, bring your car somewhere with Wi-Fi, or connect your comma 3X to a USB charger in a place with Wi-Fi. Your comma 3X requires about 5 minutes of Wi-Fi connection and then can take up to 30 minutes to activate and might require a reboot. You will know the activation started when the device displays "CONNECT ONLINE".

After the next reboot, your SIM card should connect to the internet and you should have prime again!
