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.
