Security Codes Used on the FOMA terminal
To make the FOMA terminal more convenient and secure, some functions require a security code. In addition to this
security code for the various FOMA terminal operations, you also have an i-mode password and a Network security
code that is used for accessing network services. Take care to use the appropriate access code when using your
FOMA terminal.
FOMA Terminal Security Code
At the time of purchase, your security code is set to “0000” (4 zeros). You can change your security code at any time.

●
If you forget your FOMA terminal security code, you must bring the FOMA terminal*, your current UIM card and a form of
identification proving that you are the subscriber (such as a driver’s license) to an NTT DoCoMo shop or service counter
to have it reset.
* The subscriber must take the FOMA terminal to the DoCoMo shop in person otherwise service may be denied.
Network security code
The security code is a 4 digit number that you specify when you apply to use DoCoMo e-sites or use various network
services.
●
If you forget your security code contact “Inquiries” on the back cover of this manual. Alternatively, bring the FOMA
terminal and a form of identification proving that you are the subscriber (such as a driver’s license) to an NTT DoCoMo
shop or service counter to have it reset. You can also apply for e-sites from your PC if you have a “user ID” and
“password”.
* See the back cover of this manual for detail regarding “DoCoMo e-sites”.
PIN1 code, PIN2 code
You can set 2 security codes for your UIM: the PIN1 code and the PIN2 code.
When you first subscribe, these security codes are set to “0000” (4 zeros). You can change your security codes at any time.
The PIN1 code is a number (code) between 4 and 8 digits long that you enter when you load the UIM card into your FOMA
terminal or when you turn the FOMA terminal on. This code identifies you as the user and is designed to prevent improper
use of your UIM by others. Entering the PIN1 codes enables you to make and receive calls and to use the FOMA terminal
functions.
The PIN2 code is a security code between 4 and 8 digits long that is used when you use or request user certificates or
perform tasks such as resetting the total call charges.
i-mode password
You need a 4-digit i-mode password to add or remove sites in My Menu and to subscribe to or unsubscribe from message
services or paid i-mode sites.
When you first subscribe, your i-mode password is set to “0000” (4 zeros). You can change your security code at any time.
(You may also have other passwords set independently by your Internet service providers.)
●
If you forget your i - mode password, you will need to bring the FOMA terminal and a form of identification to show that you
are the registered service subscriber (such as a driver’s license) to an NTT DoCoMo shop or service counter to have it
reset.

Avoid using readily predictable numbers (e.g. the last 4 digits or your phone number) and take great care not to disclose your security codes to
others.
