The PIN code
The PIN code protects the SIM card from unauthorized access. The PIN code
can be 4- 8 digits in length. After three successive incorrect entries the
PIN code is blocked and you’ll be asked to enter the personal unblocking
key (PUK) code.
Note:
The PIN code must be obtained from your wireless provider.
The PIN code is typically provided with your SIM card.
PIN CODE REQUEST
Enable your phone to request the PIN code upon power-up. This provides
extra security in case your phone is lost or stolen.
