Turning the PIN Requirement On and
Off
When the SIM PIN requirement is on, you are
prompted to enter your PIN each time you turn on
your handset.
Note: If a SIM PIN is required, your handset will
not function until the SIM PIN is entered,
except for making emergency calls.
When the PIN requirement is off, your handset can
be used without entering a PIN.
Important: When the SIM PIN requirement is off, the
personal data on your SIM card is not
protected. Anyone can use your handset
and access your personal data.
1 From the main menu, select Settings > Security >
SIM PIN.
2 Select On or Off.
3 Enter the current SIM PIN.
4 Press A under Ok.
Unblocking the PIN
If you enter your PIN incorrectly 5 times, your SIM
card is blocked. To unblock your SIM card, you must
contact your TELUS Mobility Client Care to get a PIN
Unblock Key (PUK).
Important: If you unsuccessfully enter the PUK code
10 times, your SIM card is permanently
blocked and must be replaced. If this
happens, all data is lost. You will get a
message to contact TELUS Mobility Client
Care. Except for making emergency calls,
your handset will not function with a
blocked SIM card.
To unblock the PIN:
1 Press * # m 1.
2 At your TELUS Mobility representative's request,
provide the information needed to give you a PUK
code.
3 Select Unblock PIN.
4 Enter the PUK code.
5 Enter a new 4- to 8-digit SIM PIN.
6 Re-enter your SIM PIN.
If you entered the codes properly, SIM Unlocked
appears on the display.
