P PIN (Personal Identity Number) code
The PIN code protects your phone from unauthorised use. The PIN

the code is required each time the phone is switched on. The PIN
code must be 4 to 8 digits long.
PIN2 code
The PIN2 code is supplied with some SIM cards. The PIN2 code is
required to access certain functions supported by the SIM card. The
length of the PIN2 code is 4 to 8 digits.
Plug-in

WWW. The communicator uses plug-ins to display a document that
the WWW application itself cannot show.

A common mail protocol that can be used for accessing the Remote
mailbox.
PPP (Point to Point Protocol)

Protocol
A formal set of rules that govern how data is transferred between
two devices.
Proxy
In some networks, the connection between the WWW and the site
you want to connect to is blocked by a firewall. The firewall
protects the network from unauthorised external access. A proxy is
an intermediary program that enables access through the firewall.
A proxy can also serve as a network cache to speed up the fetching
process.
PUK (PIN Unblocking Key) code
The PUK is an 8-digit code supplied with the SIM card. The code is
required when you want to change a disabled PIN code. If you enter
an incorrect PUK code ten times in succession, the SIM card is
rejected and you cannot make or receive any calls, except
emergency calls. When the SIM is rejected, you will need a new SIM
card.
You cannot change the PUK code. If you lose the code, contact your
network operator.
