SIM Card Lock

The SIM card lock protects your
subscription, but not the phone itself,
from unauthorized use. If you change
SIM cards, your phone still works with
the new SIM card.
Most SIM cards are locked at the time
of purchase. If the SIM card lock is on,
you have to enter a PIN (Personal
Identity 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
Blocked. To unblock it, you need to
enter your PUK (Personal Unblocking
Key). Your PIN and PUK are supplied
by your service provider. You can edit
your PIN and select a new four- to
eight-digit PIN.
If the message
Codes do not match.
