Getting Started
SIM Card Security
Your SIM card stores all your Contacts information.
Since this information is stored on your SIM card,
not in your handset, you can remove the
information by removing your SIM card.
Note:
Except for making emergency calls, your
handset will not function without the SIM
card.
To prevent unauthorized use of your handset, your
SIM card can be protected by a PIN that you enter
each time the handset is powered on. You can
change the PIN or turn off the requirement that it
be entered.
Note:
Your PIN is set to OFF by default.
Entering the PIN
You may be required to enter a SIM PIN when you
first use your handset.
When you receive your handset, the SIM PIN is
0000. Change your PIN to prevent fraudulent use
of the SIM card.
Important: If you enter your PIN incorrectly 5
times, your SIM card is blocked. To
unblock your SIM card, you must
contact TELUS Mobility Client Care.
See “Unblocking the PIN”.
