Access Codes

You can use the access codes described in this section to avoid

unauthorised use of your phone. The access codes (except PUK and PUK2

codes) can be changed by using the Change codes feature [Menu-9-5-6].

See page 108.

PIN code (4 to 8 digits)

The PIN (Personal Identification Number) code protects your SIM card

against unauthorised use. The PIN code is usually supplied with the SIM

card. When the PIN code request is set to On, your phone will request the

PIN code every time the phone is switched on. When the PIN code

request is set to Off, your phone connects to the network directly without

the PIN code.

PIN2 code (4 to 8 digits)

The PIN2 code, supplied with some SIM cards, is required to access

functions such as Advice of Call Charge and Fixed Dial Number. These

functions are only available if supported by your SIM card.

PUK code (4 to 8 digits)

The PUK (PIN Unblocking Key) code is required to change a blocked PIN

code. The PUK code may be supplied with the SIM card. If not, contact

your network operator for the code. If you lose the code, also contact your

network operator.

PUK2 code (4 to 8 digits)

The PUK2 code, supplied with some SIM cards, is required to change a

blocked PIN2 code. If you lose the code, also contact your network

operator.
