• Use the read commands "AT+CPIN?" and "AT+CPIN2?" to check which password is currently required.
If the responses to "AT+CPIN?" and "AT+CPIN2?" both read "READY", there is no currently required pass-
word, and the referrer of the execute command "AT^SPIC" is explicitly undefined.
In these cases, the read command "AT^SPIC?" may be used to determine, which password the response of
the execute command actually refers to. Also, the write command may be used i n order to retrieve the counter
for a specific password.
• For passwords associated to the phone lock (''PS'' lock set by client or facto ry) or other factory set locks, such
as ''PF'', ''PN'', ''PU'', ''PP'', ''PC'' the number of attempts is subject to a timing algorithm explained in
AT+CPIN. If these passwords are incorrectly entered the counter first returns 3, 2 and 1 remaining attempt(s),
but then gives the total number of attempts which amounts to 63 (see example below).
• See also Chapters AT+CLCK, AT+CPIN, AT+CPIN2, AT+CPWD, AT^SLCK for further information on locks and
passwords.
Examples
EXAMPLE 1
The client fails to provide a correct SIM PIN three times The counter decreases each time. After the counter
