If you need to access the SIM card in your CollecTin More, it is inside the tablet.

Firstly, switch your tablet off, by holding the Power button > Power off


Step 1: Remove the Tablet from your CollecTin More Casing

Step 2: Remove your SIM from your Tablet


How you gain access to the SIM card, and where to change settings will depend on your CollecTin More model.

Once the SIM is inserted, start up your tablet.

> Press and hold the power button until the CollecTin logo appears on screen
> Wait for the tablet to boot up

> [IF the ‘Update preferred SIM card?’ pop-up appears] Tap ‘YES’
 >> Wait for the SIM configuration. When this is complete:
 -  the empty triangle to the left of the battery indicator (at the top left part of the screen) should now be partially or         completely full (depending on the signal strength)
-  two 4G icons should appear: one on top of the signal indicator and another to the left of it.
