Instructions
Blocked (n) - No retries left, so the card is blocked. You have to unlock the SIM
card in order to access any data
on the SIM card. See below the find out how to unblock SIM card.
Enter PIN dialog:
If the security is enabled on a SIM card, and you try to access private data or execute
protected action, you will be asked to
provide the PIN1 code to verify you have the proper permission to do that. So you will see
the following dialog,
just enter the PIN1 code and press OK, or give up the action by press Cancel.
Note: You have only 3 chances to enter the correct PIN1 code, so be careful when you type.
And another thing you need to
know is, you’d better pay special attention on the PIN1 status before you enter any PIN1
code. WHY? Because the SIM
card may have already been provided the wrong PIN1 code last time it was used by someone,
so maybe there is less then 3
chances for you to try. The PIN1 status will tell you how many chances are left.
Enable / Disable:
This is straight forward. This button is used to enable/disable the security verification of the
SIM card. Both of the actions need
you to provide the correct PIN1 code.
Verify:
If the security verification is enabled, you will have to provide the PIN1 code to the SIM card
to verify yourself.
This is the place you can do the verification. Press this button, you will see an Enter PIN1
dialog.
Startup verification – When you open a SIM card that has security verification enabled, you
will be asked to provide the
PIN1 code at the time the card is just opened. You can enter PIN1 code there. If in case you
don’t enter PIN1 code there,
you can do this later in the Security page by press the Verify button.
