Locking and protecting your phone

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
1 Turn off your phone, then remove the battery cover and battery.
2 Look for the 15- to 17-digit number on the label. The first 15 digits represent
the IMEI number.
SIM card protection
The SIM card lock only protects your subscription. Your phone will still work with two
new SIM cards. If one of 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.
