I gave the phone to my mom to open the back cover because I don't have fingernails to open it by hand. I usually use my front teeth, but I was on a phone call, so i gave it to her. She examined the edges of the back cover and saw the small hole located below the divot. That led her to the conclusion that the ENTIRE back cover of the phone was supposed to open just like Sim pocket. So she decided to SLIDE/PUSH/SHOVE A METAL STICK INSIDE THE HOLE. After finishing the phone call, I took the phone out of my mom's hands and explained to her that's not the way this phone opens. She did apologize, and the phone was okay afterward. But that was a big scare.😅😂
i used a magnifier glass n could not c a way to open the back, I got the battery but don't know if the sim is already in, the cover looks like its sealed.
At the Bottom Right is a little notch. You may need a friend or family to help out - and that's okay. It should come off with a little elbow grease - or in this instance - fingernail grease. You'll get it. Also, make sure you have the Vortex HD65 - there are a million phones and they are all starting to look similar. If it is a Vortex HD65, the back will come off. Good luck to you.
Do you have a friend family or neighbor who can help? If not, you can try work gloves or garden gloves - those plasticky garden gloves with a lot of grip texture might do the trick. If none of those work, maybe try a very dull butter knife to press into that edge of the phone on the bottom right - don't cut yourself or break the phone! You'll get it! Good luck.
This is crazy, I wasn't even expecting to find a video on how to do this. Can't believe they using this old-ass removable battery style of the phone when other government phones are updated in tech but whatever. 😅
Yup. Right out of the box, the back cover is on there VERY TIGHT. Maybe try a different corner of the phone? Maybe ask for help from a rock climber or auto mechanic or farmer (They all have strong fingers - LOL) !!!
hmmm...if you have the HD65 from this video, there is no slot for a second sim card. If your Vortex has 2 sim slots in the back, you put your 2nd sim card in the 2nd sim slot.
If your sim in in, you should get service. If you have your sim in and you get no service 1. is your bill paid 2. does it recognize the sim? Does it say "no sim". You also could be out of the service area if you are paid up and your phone is reading the sim card. You can also pull the battery and sim out, wait 2 minutes, re-insert battery and sim and see if that helps. Good luck!
Oh no!!! The bottom right corner has the little notch. It is possible that ANOTHER corner will come away easier than that bottom right corner. Maybe slowly try each corner. Then, if nothing else works, take it to your auto mechanic - they have strong hands!!! That's a joke. But if you can't open it, you may need a friend or family or co-worker to help you. GOod Luck to you!!!
If you buy an UNLOCKED or FACTORY UNLOCKED HD65, then you can take the sim chip out of your Motorola phone and use it in your HD65. Just make sure that the Vortex is unlocked to use with any carrier and you should be good to go.
The HD65 that I have came as "Factory Unlocked" which means I can use it with any company including Cricket. Go back to any of your notes when you bought your HD65 to see if you see "Factory Unlocked" Or if you are looking to buy an HD65 and you already have Cricket, just make sure you buy one that says "Factory Unlocked" and you'll be good to go!
/smash with hammer/ oops. typo. I mean, find friend family neighbor who works on cars rock climbs feats of strength. They have strong hands. They will get it for you.

Well I tried everything, well I thought I did until I ate a popsicle. I thought let’s try this one last thing and boom it worked so quick n easy.
All the great problem solvers of our time took a popsicle break. It's brain food. Nice job solving it!

Gotta love it how they make it physically impossible to open the back cover. What a joke
The back comes off the Vortex HD65. It is easy if you follow the steps in the video. Good luck.
Thank you!
My pleasure!
@@JasonClements 💖I love that people take the time to help those of us that need help.
Just got a vortex phone and I am having a hard time opening it to put the battery.

Yup. The government!
Thanks ❤
You're welcome 😊
I cant open it. Its been 2 days. This is absolutely ridiculously. Its practically GLUED SHUT
Yup. Right out of the box, the back cover is on there VERY TIGHT. Maybe try a different corner of the phone? Maybe ask for help from a rock climber or auto mechanic or farmer (They all have strong fingers - LOL) !!!
How do you put a second sim in ?
hmmm...if you have the HD65 from this video, there is no slot for a second sim card. If your Vortex has 2 sim slots in the back, you put your 2nd sim card in the 2nd sim slot.
Mine is Damaged How do I fix it?
It's says No Service on the phone
If your sim in in, you should get service. If you have your sim in and you get no service 1. is your bill paid 2. does it recognize the sim? Does it say "no sim". You also could be out of the service area if you are paid up and your phone is reading the sim card. You can also pull the battery and sim out, wait 2 minutes, re-insert battery and sim and see if that helps. Good luck!

OMG! Yeah, Vortex puts the backs on EXTRA TIGHT!
I had to use a thin butter knife to crack it open and the little panflit doesn't help.
Yeah. Ok.
i broke a nail and i shined a little light too

I can’t get the phone open
If you have tried the methods in the video, have a family member or friend help you.
I can't either it's been 2 days and I'm slightly damaging the phone
Same here
Find a friend with strong hands - fireman, rock climber, auto mechanic, farmer.
Me too😂😅@@meccamorrow9417
Didn't put the sim back in?
I took the sim out so that I could build a phone made entirely of sim chips! Thanks for watching!
Can you use a Motorola card in the vortex phone
If you buy an UNLOCKED or FACTORY UNLOCKED HD65, then you can take the sim chip out of your Motorola phone and use it in your HD65. Just make sure that the Vortex is unlocked to use with any carrier and you should be good to go.
