Network 2 SIM Pin Settings
The SIM PIN is a 4 digit numeric code used to unlock the SIM card. This allows mobile devices to
gain access to network specific information stored on the SIM. If the SIM PIN functionality is
enabled on the SIM card, Network Registration will not start until after a valid PIN number has
been configured. This is for both the GSM and and GPRS networks. Typically SIM cards are
delivered from the provider with SIM PIN function disabled.
Upon 3 failed consecutive attempts to enter a pin, your SIM card will be locked (old PIN will
become invalid). To unlock the SIM card, you will have to contact the provider of the SIM card and
request a PIN Unlock (PUK) code. Use this with extreme caution, because 10 failed PUK
attempts will lock the SIM forever!
The table below shows the settings for SIM PIN configuration.
