SIM card protection

You can lock and unlock each SIM card that you use in your device with a PIN

(Personal Identiﬁcation Number). When a SIM card is locked, the subscription linked

to the card is protected against misuse, meaning that you have to enter a PIN every

time you start your device.

If you enter the PIN incorrectly too many times, your SIM card will get blocked. You

then need to enter your PUK (Personal Unblocking Key) and a new PIN. Your PIN and

PUK are supplied by your network operator.
