IMEI number
Every phone has a unique IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) number. You
should keep a copy of this number. If your phone is stolen, your network provider can
use your IMEI number to stop the phone from accessing the network in your country.
To view your IMEI number
• Turn off your phone, then remove the battery cover and battery to view your IMEI
number.
• Open the phone dialer on your device and enter *#06#*.
To view your IMEI number in the device
1 From your Home screen, tap
2 Find and tap Settings > About phone > Status.
3 Scroll to IMEI to view the IMEI number.
SIM card protection
The SIM card lock only protects your subscription. Your device will still work with a
new SIM card. If the SIM card lock is on, you have to enter a PIN (Personal Identity
Number). If you enter your PIN incorrectly more times than the maximum number of
attempts allowed, your SIM card will become blocked. You need to enter your PUK
(Personal Unblocking Key) and then a new PIN. Your PIN, PIN2 and PUK are supplied
by your network operator.
