PIN
A PIN (Personal Identification Number) code is a key to a 3G card. Without the PIN
code, you cannot use the 3G card.
If your ISP enabled PIN code authentication, enter the 4-digit PIN code (0000 for
example) provided by your ISP. If you enter the PIN code incorrectly, the 3G card
may be blocked by your ISP and you cannot use the account to access the Internet.
If your ISP disabled PIN code authentication, leave this field blank.
