Samsung Admire SCH R720 Manual User Guide Metro PCS - Specs Overview

Samsung Admire SCH R720 Manual User Guide for MetroPCS & Unlocked CDMA Generic Version Resume
We gave you two User Guide / User Manual (UG/UM) of Samsung Admire SCH R720 under “PDF Download Tab” but for the Read Online section, we only provided the UG for MetroPCS carrier – English version. The big differences between this two UG for MetroPCS and CDMA Generic might be occured on the section that discussing the Carrier Tools/ Features. UG MetroPCS did had, but for UG CDMA Generic didn’t.
There is also one thing that seem to be “important missing part” on UG for CDMA Generic (unlocked, we will called as UG-CG). On UG-CG, because this apparently for unlocked version that can be inserted / used by all Carrier (as long as it’s CDMA), the UM should be provide how to insert the SIM Card tutorial. But after searching the UG-CG contents, unfortunately we couldn’t find for inserting SIM guidance.
