• PIN CODES
The PIN (Personal Identity Number) and PIN2 codes are 4- to 8-digit
numbers that usually come from your service provider along with the SIM
card. Use the PIN code to protect your phone and SIM card against
unauthorized use. The PIN2 code activates some of your phone's functions.
Required by several phone features. If phone security
is on, the phone requests the security code the first
time you use it after installing a new SIM card.
If SIM card security is on, the phone requests the PIN
code every time the phone is turned on.
Required by several phone features.
Required by the restrict calls feature. See "About
your restriction password" on page 105.
