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.

To edit the PIN

  1. Select Menu > Settings > General > PIN codes > SIM protection > Change PIN.
  2. Enter your PIN and select OK.
  3. Enter a new four-to-eight-digit PIN and select OK.
  4. Re-enter the new PIN and select OK.

If Codes do not match appears, you entered the new PIN incorrectly. If Incorrect PIN appears, you entered the old PIN incorrectly.

To use the SIM card lock

  1. Select Menu > Settings > General > PIN codes > SIM protection > Protection.
  2. Select an option.
