Protect Your SIM Card With the SIM Lock
Password
You can protect your SIM card against unauthorized use with a
personal identification number (PIN). After a PIN is enabled to lock
your SIM, you will need to enter the PIN each time you turn on the
device in order to unlock your SIM.
NOTE: The SIM card will be permanently locked if you enter the
incorrect PIN for three consecutive times. You must then enter the
Personal Unblocking Key (PUK) to unlock the SIM card. Please contact
your service provider to obtain the PUK.
NOTE: You can make emergency calls without unlocking the SIM.
