Locking and protecting your phone

IMEI number

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.

SIM card protection

The SIM card lock only protects your subscription. Your phone 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.
To enable the SIM card PIN lock
