SIM card lock

The SIM card lock protects your subscription, but not your

phone itself, from unauthorized use. If you change SIM

cards, the phone still works with the new SIM card.

PIN and PUK code

Most SIM cards are locked at the time of purchase. If the

SIM card lock is on, you have to enter a “PIN” (Personal

Identification Number) every time you turn on your phone.

If you enter your PIN incorrectly three times in a row,

the SIM card is blocked. This is indicated by the message

PIN blocked

. To unblock it you need to enter your “PUK”

(Personal Unblocking Key). Your PIN and PUK are supplied

by your operator.
