Cellular Phones/Accessing phones menu without sim

Question
Hello, I was wondering if there is any way of accessing my motorola L6 menu having no longer got the sim card. Thanks in advance, Simon.

Answer
If you put even a non-working SIM into your phone, you can access your menus. If the phone won't allow you access to anything without a SIM card inserted, then just put your old SIM into it and you can access menus and contacts, etc. It just won't work for service if the SIM is not active. If you don't have an old SIM, perhaps you can get a hold of one that you can just keep in the phone so that you can access menus. I hope this helps. Thanks. DebiN
