Important: Be sure to make a note of your PIN. When the SIM lock is enabled,
you must provide this PIN when you turn on your Smartphone to
make calls.
Unblocking the PIN
If you enter your PIN incorrectly 3 times, your SIM card is blocked. To unblock your SIM
card, you must contact Sprint Customer Care to get a PIN Unblock Code (PUK).
Important: If you unsuccessfully enter the PUK code 10 times, your SIM card is
permanently blocked and must be replaced. If this happens, all data
is lost. You will get a message to contact Sprint Customer Care.
Except for making emergency calls, your Smartphone will not
function with a blocked SIM card.

Removing the SIM Card

extra measure of security.
Important: Do not touch the gold-colored areas of your SIM card. Protect your
SIM card as you would any delicate object. Store it carefully.
