Username/Password:
Enter the username and password provided by your service provider. The
username and password are case sensitive.
PIN:
PIN stands for Personal Identification Number. A PIN code is a numeric value used in certain
systems as a password to gain access and authenticate. In mobile phones a PIN code locks the SIM
card until you enter the correct code. If you enter the PIN code incorrectly into the phone 3 times in a
row, then the SIM card will be blocked, and you will require a PUK code from your network/service
provider.
