Network Isolation Card (NIC)

• Use a Network Isolation Card or NIC in the SIM slot of the handset to allow the handset to be turned on and information to be accessed while the handset remains isolated from the network.

• A NIC will contain enough information to appear to be the same SIM card, but it will not have the necessary information to allow the handset to connect to the network.

Network Isolation Card (NIC)

• NIC’s work with 2G and 3G handsets and are reusable.

• They isolate the handset from its normal service making it impossible to receive SMS messages, calls & voicemail reminders etc.

• If the target SIM Card has an unknown PIN lock it will not be possible to generate a NIC for use in the handset. An alternate form of isolation may be necessary.

• Remember, don’t turn the handset on without first creating and reinserting the NIC.
