Access

The SIM card is unlocked only once the provided pin is verified as the SIM PIN. If the required PIN (determined by the error code returned from the requested operation or the Read command) is SIM PUK or SIM PUK2, the second pin is required. This second pin, <newpin>, is used to replace the old pin in the SIM card. When entering the pin, a <new pin> is not required.

Note: The SIM card lock is another level of security independent of the phone lock (See “Access Control Commands” on page 3-177for more information).

Figure 3-8presents a diagram of what occurs when using the SIM card. Note that if an incorrect password is entered three times, the G24-L requires that a master password be entered. If this also fails three times, the SIM will be blocked, and you will have to go to your provider to unblock it.
