What is a SIM card
When registering your mobile phone number, you will have a Sim card (Subscriber Identity
Module) provided by the network operator.
The SIM card has information reserved for your use. It includes your phone number, PIN
(Personal Indenification Number), PIN2, PUK (password to unlock PIN), PUK2 (password
to unlock PIN2), IMSI (International Mobile Subscriber Identity) number, network
information, phone book data, SMS data and so on. If it is lost, contact your network
operator immediately for help.
PIN code
PIN is the password provided by your network operator. It is usually 4 digits. When you
input the PIN code, the screen displays „*“ to replace the number entered.
PIN is used to access the SIM card. If the PIN protection function is enabled, the screen
will display „Enter PIN“ each time the phone is switched on. You can deactivate this
feature but you risk unauthorized use oft he phone. Some network operators do not permit
deactivating the control.
PIN2 code
PIN2 is required for some specific functions provided by the network, such as the charge
information.
Note: If you enter the PIN incorrectly three times in a row, the SIM card will be locked.
Please contact your network operator immediately for decoding. Attempting to decode
yourself may result in the permanent failure oft he SIM card.

PUK (Personal Unlocking Key)… If you enter the PUK incorrectly ten times in a row, the
SIM card will become invalid. Please contact your network operator for a new SIM card.
