Your Phone’s Security
SIM Card Security
You can use your SIM card to store Contacts entries. When
you first create an entry, it is stored in your phone. You can
use your phone’s SIM Manager to copy the entry to your SIM
card. You can also copy entries from your SIM card to your
phone. See “Using Your SIM Manager” on page 130 for more
information.
SIM Card’s PIN
You can protect access to your phone by using the SIM card’s
PIN (Personal Identification Number). When you enable SIM
PIN, you must enter the PIN each time you power up the
phone. You can change or disable the SIM PIN.

1. Press O > Settings > Security.
2. Enter your lock code. (The Security menu is displayed.)

Important:

fraudulent use of the SIM Card.
