IMEI number

Every phone has a unique IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) number. You

should keep a copy of this number. If your phone is stolen, your network provider can

use your IMEI number to stop the phone from accessing the network in your country.

To view your IMEI number

1Turn off your phone, then remove the battery cover and battery.

2Look for the 15- to 17-digit number on the label. The first 15 digits represent

the IMEI number.

SIM card protection

The SIM card lock only protects your subscription. Your phone will still work with two

new SIM cards. If one of the SIM card lock is on, you have to enter a PIN (Personal

Identity Number). If you enter your PIN incorrectly more times than the maximum

number of attempts allowed, your SIM card will become blocked. You need to enter

your PUK (Personal Unblocking Key) and then a new PIN. Your PIN, PIN2 and PUK

are supplied by your network operator.
