SIM Card Security
Important: Except for making emergency calls, your phone does not function without the SIM card.
You can use your SIM card to store Contacts entries. When you first create an entry, it is stored in your phone. You can use your phone’s SIM Manager to copy the entry to your SIM card. You can also copy entries from your SIM card to your phone. See “Using Your SIM Manager” on page 130 for more information.
SIM Card’s PIN
You can protect access to your phone by using the SIM card’s PIN (Personal Identification Number). When you enable SIM PIN, you must enter the PIN each time you power up the phone. You can change or disable the SIM PIN.
