Locks

SIM card lock

The SIM card lock protects your subscription, but not your 
phone itself, from unauthorized use. If you change SIM cards, 
the phone still works with the new SIM card. Most SIM cards 
are locked at the time of purchase. If the SIM card lock is on, 
you have to enter a PIN (Personal Identity Number) every time 
you turn on your phone. If you enter your PIN incorrectly three 
times in a row, the SIM card is blocked. This is indicated by the 
messag

PIN blocked. To unblock, enter your PUK code 

provided by your network operator. 

To unblock it, enter your 

PUK (Personal Unblocking Key). Your PIN and PUK are supplied 
by your network operator.
