Facts & Tips
• If you enter an invalid PIN code
three times, your SIM card will be
blocked, and to unblock it you have to
enter the PUK code supplied by
your network operator. This procedure
prevents unauthorised persons from
working out your PIN code by repeat-
edly entering different combinations
of numbers.
• For your own sake, remember to
write down your SIM lock code to be
able to deactivate the lock at a later
time. You have 10 attempts before
the phone is blocked.
• The phone will inform you how
many tries you have left before the
SIM card is blocked. If you enter an
invalid PUK code 10 times, your SIM
card will be permanently blocked and
you have to contact your network
operator.
