Samsung Galaxy Tab S9+ 5G - Insert / Remove SIM Card

Here's how to properly insert or remove a SIM card for your Galaxy Tab S9+ 5G.
Instructions on inserting / removing your SIM can help with activation issues / errors, browser connection problems and a blank or frozen screen.
  • Don't attempt to insert / remove the SIM card while the device is powered on. Doing so may harm the SIM card and/or the device.
  • Don't modify or alter your SIM card.
  1. Ensure the device is powered off.
    To power off the device, press and hold the
    Power / Side button
    and
    Volume down button
    until the 'Power off' prompt appears, release the buttons then tap
    Power off
    .

  2. Remove the card tray (lower-right edge with the device in portrait orientation and display facing up).
    Use the SIM removal tool (or a paperclip) to unlock the tray by inserting it into the provided slot then remove the tray.

  3. Do one of the following:
    To avoid damaging your SIM card, don't touch the gold contacts.
    • Insert the SIM card
      The SIM card goes in the slot on the opposite side of the tray from the SD card. The slot is keyed so there is only one way to insert the SIM card; ensure the gold contacts are facing up and the notch is aligned with the SIM / SD tray.
    • Remove the SIM card
      From the bottom of the card, carefully lift to remove. To assist, use the opening on the opposite side of the tray to dislodge (remove the SD card if one is inserted).
  4. Insert the card tray then press it back into its slot until it clicks, making sure it's secure.
