My XC90 has both Bluetooth and Simcard Slot "built-in"...

I have been using Bluetooth to pair with my phone and this works no problem so never even bothered to insert a simcard into the slot.

However, I do forget my phone from time to time and I can't imagine thinking what if I need to make a call for an emergency. Anyway, so I got myself a pre-paid simcard to be used as backup. To be sure, I tested said simcard on my phone and it works (receive and initiate calls).

So off to the car, when I inserted simcard into the car, nothing seems to happen. I push the "Phone" button and I see the option of "Add phone". When I select this, it tells me to activate bluetooth on the phone so it can be paired which is not what i want to do. It seems that the simcard I inserted is not recognized.

So my question, is bluetooth and simcard-slot supposed to work side-by-side? I did try to "remove" all paired phones to simulate a fresh start but the simcard still was not recognized. How do I even know that the simcard is recognized and ready to use?

Thanks.
