PIN codes

The PIN (Personal Identity Number) and PIN2 codes are 4- to 8-digit numbers that usually come from your service provider along with the SIM card. Use the PIN code to protect your phone and SIM card against unauthorized use. The PIN2 code activates some of your phone’s functions, such as Call Cost Limit (See “Use call cost limits” on page 56).
