Step 5: Unlocking the SIM
If the SIM card is locked you will need to unlock it with the appropriate PIN
code. You can find out if the SIM is locked by viewing the
SIM Status
on
the
Status
page:
If the SIM Status is
SIM PIN Required
or
SIM Locked
, then follow the
steps below to unlock the SIM card:
•
From the menu, select
Internet Settings
->
Mobile Broadband
->
SIM Security
. This will open up the page displaying SIM Security
Settings as shown below:
•
Enter the PIN code in the
PIN
field and then enter it again in the
Confirm PIN
field.
It is highly recommended that you select
Remember PIN
so that you will
not have to enter the PIN code each time the SIM is inserted. Alternatively
you can also disable SIM PIN protection by selecting
Disable PIN
from the
PIN Protection
drop down menu.
•
Click
Save
.

Wait few seconds and verify that the SIM Status reads
SIM OK
