Getting Started

SIM Card Security

Your SIM card stores all your Contacts and protects
your personal information. Since this information is
stored on your SIM card, not in your phone, you can
remove the information by removing your SIM card.

Note: Except for making emergency calls, your

phone will not function without the SIM
card.

To prevent unauthorized use of your phone, your
SIM card is protected by a PIN that you enter each
time the phone is powered on. You can change the
PIN or turn off the requirement that it be entered.

Turning the PIN Requirement On and
Off

When the SIM PIN requirement is off, your phone
can be used without entering a PIN.

Important: When the SIM PIN requirement is off, the

personal data on your SIM card is not
protected. Anyone can use your phone
and access your personal data.

When the SIM PIN requirement is on, you are
prompted to enter your PIN each time you power on
your phone.

Note: If a SIM PIN is required, your phone will not

function until the SIM PIN is entered,
except for making emergency calls.

1 From the main menu, select Settings > Security

> SIM PIN.

2 Select On or Off.
3 Enter the current SIM PIN.

Note: When you receive your phone, the SIM PIN

is 0000. Change your PIN to prevent
fraudulent use of the SIM card (see
“Changing the PIN” on page 15).
