Nokia 6260

Hi anyone,

i just got this phone and when i switched it on its text was in some asian language. It had some text and the word SIM was among the asian lettering, along side it it hade the exclamation mart (!). I can't seem to get passed this screen. I don't have any service yet, i.e. I don't have a sim card, but shouldn't I be able to do other stuff like change the language and all other sorts without a sim card?

the message is probably telling me there is no sim card.

If there is anyone who can help me with this I'll appreciate it.

P.s.

Does this phone work well with cingular's network?
