Unblocking A Sim Card - Huawei E182 Getting Started Manual

Unblocking a SIM card

Some SIM cards will be provisioned with a Personal Identification
Number (PIN) which locks user access to your Turbo Stick. When
using a locked SIM card, you may be asked to enter the PIN number.
Service providers frequently limit the number of incorrect PIN entry
attempts. If you fail to enter a correct PIN within the number of
permitted attempts, the SIM card may become blocked. You will see
a warning message on your last attempt.
In the event that the card becomes blocked, you have the ability
to re-enable the PIN mechanism by entering a Personal Unblocking
Key (PUK). You will be prompted to enter a new PIN in combination
with the PUK code to unblock and reset the PIN lock.
IMPORTANT
You will have a limited number of attempts to enter the correct PUK
code. If you fail to enter the correct code within the allowed number
of attempts, it will be necessary to replace the SIM card.
The PUK is available through eCare at www.bell.ca/mybell or by
calling client care.
