PIN2 code
The PIN2 code is used to protect the advanced user functions of your SIM card, for
example, fixed dialing. The PIN2 code must not be the same as the PIN code.
NOTE: The PIN2 code is supplied with some SIM cards. For more
information, contact your service provider.
To change the PIN2 code:
1. From the Home screen, select Menu > Ctrl. Panel > Settings > General >
Security > Phone and SIM card > PIN2 code
2. Press the Middle select, and when prompted, enter the current PIN2 code, then
select OK.
3. When prompted, enter the new PIN2 code, then select OK.
4. Enter the new PIN2 code again for verification, then select OK. A confirmation
message is displayed.
IMPORTANT: The PIN2-protected features of your SIM card will be
blocked if you incorrectly enter your PIN2 code a number of times, normally
after three consecutive attempts.
If this happens, you must contact your service provider to obtain the PUK2
(PIN2 Unblocking Key). Enter this into your phone to unblock the PIN2
code and restore your SIM card's full functionality.
