Abstract
The invention relates to a card reading configuration in a mobile phone, comprising a space in the housing (1) for the SIM card (8), the space being covered by the battery unit. The walls (2) defining the space laterally are provided with grooves (6), which serve to guide the card (8) into position and to position it in other directions than the longitudinal direction (A). The configuration is such that it requires the battery unit to be pushed in the longitudinal direction (A) at the end of its insertion, the stopper in the battery unit thus pressing the card against the stop (15), which positions the card in the longitudinal direction. The battery unit also keeps the card pressed against the contacts placed below the card.
