# SIM protection

This lock only protects your subscription. Your phone will work with a new SIM card. If the lock is on, you have to enter a PIN (Personal Identity Number).

If you enter your PIN incorrectly three times in a row, the SIM card is blocked and you need to enter your PUK (Personal Unblocking Key). Your PIN and PUK are supplied by your network operator.

## To unblock the SIM card

1. When PIN blocked appears, enter your PUK and select OK.
2. Enter a new four-to-eight-digit PIN and select OK.
3. Re-enter the new PIN and select OK.

2. Enter your PIN and select OK.
