PIN code

The (4 to 8 digit) PIN (Personal Identification Number) code helps
protect your SIM card against unauthorised use. When the PIN
code function is active, you need to key in the PIN code each time
you switch on your Vertu phone. If you used your SIM card in
another phone previously, the code will be the same.
The default setting for the PIN code function is defined by your
service provider. Some service providers do not allow you to disable
the PIN code request.
The SIM card becomes blocked if you key in an incorrect PIN
code three times in succession. You will need to contact your
service provider for the PUK (PIN Unblocking) code.
Key in the PUK code if you have blocked your SIM card.
PUK codes cannot be changed. If you key in an incorrect
PUK code 10 times in succession your SIM card becomes
permanently blocked.
