Enter PIN
If your SIM card is preset with a PIN (personal identification number), you will be prompted to enter the
PIN before you can use the phone. Enter the SIM PIN, then touch
OK. To learn how to enable or disable
the SIM PIN, refer to “Protect your SIM card with a PIN” on page 102.

from your wireless service provider. Refer to “To restore a SIM card that has been locked out” on
page 102 to learn how to unblock the SIM card.
