Your Vertu phone has a number of security features that help to prevent:
• Unauthorized use of your Vertu phone when your SIM card is inserted.
• Unauthorized use of your Vertu phone if a different SIM card is inserted.
• Unauthorized use of your SIM card in another phone.
Security Settings
Your phone's Security module provides the security functions. It manages four
security areas.

IMPORTANT:
The SIM card will be blocked if you enter an incorrect PIN
code three times in a row.
If this happens, you must contact your service provider to obtain the PUK
(PIN Unblocking Key), then enter it into your phone.
The PUK cannot be changed. If you enter an incorrect PUK 10 times in a
row, your SIM card will be permanently blocked.
NOTE:
The default setting for the PIN code security feature is defined by
your service provider. Some service providers do not allow you to disable
the PIN code request.
NOTE:
To change the PIN code, the PIN code request must be set to On.
