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 Identity Number) every time you turn on
your phone.
As you enter your PIN, the digits are hidden with
an *. However digits are shown if your PIN starts
with the same digits as an emergency number, for
example 112. This is so that you can see and call an
emergency number without entering a PIN. See
"Emergency calls" on page 29 for more information.
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.
