[Reader-users] A Few Questions About Starting The Reader

The thing in the package that looks like a card may actually be a card 
adapter.  The unit includes a plastic adapter in to which your phone card 
can plug, and which can be plugged in a SD slot.

do you have talks installed as having evena  demo installed might just help
you to get going.  that way you can see if the reader is installed or not.
by the way the phone is a very good phone.
