Activate your SIM PIN, then
change it to a secret one

To protect your SIM card, the security settings
on your mobile allow you to activate its
preset PIN number. This number is 5555.
Once it’s activated, you will need to enter it
every time you switch your BT handset on.
For extra protection, we recommend that you
change your SIM PIN to a secret number of
your choice – your handset user guide gives
you specific instructions on how to do this.

Call us if your handset goes missing

You can contact us on Freephone 0800 678
1030 from a landline. Call straight away and
we’ll bar your mobile so no-one else can use
it. Remember, you’ll be charged for any calls
made on your mobile until we hear from you.
To stop calls being made on your account, we
just need your mobile number. If you give us
your SIM and IMEI numbers as well we can bar
your mobile completely. You’ll find the IMEI
number by pressing *#06# SEND on your
mobile’s keypad. Please jot them down now
and hang on to them for future reference.
