How to Clear Numbers From a Cell Phone
- 1). Remove the SIM card from your cell phone if you want to preserve its information for later use. Open the back of your cell phone and remove the battery. Pull back the restraining latch and gently lift the SIM card to release it from the compartment.
- 2). Restart the cell phone, as the clearing command must be entered while the device is booting up. Hold down the "OFF" button to shut down, and push the "POWER ON" button to turn the device on again. You may also restart by taking out the cell phone's battery, re-inserting it and powering on.
- 3). Hold down the combination of keys necessary to execute a system restart while the cell phone is booting up. Look up "System Restart," "Clear Phone Memory" or "Reset Phone Memory" in your cell phone's owner manual to find the right combination of keys. According to MSNBC and PC World Magazine, you should use the ReCellular Data Erase (see Resources below) if you do not know or cannot find your device's reset key combination or instructions.
