Hi!
I have done a search and cannot find the answer to this...
How do I go about setting up a PIN number for my SIM card so that when the phone/radio is restarted it asks for the SIM PIN number?
I have just got a new SIM from Vodafone and want to put a PIN number on it - I cannot see how to do this... on my old SIM card I allocated a PIN number thru my N95 (ages ago lol!) ...
Any help will be appreciated!
Regards,
Alan

Hi
I have an old sim card i'm not using since a long time ago.. and "#!!, i forgot the pin... Now i want to use for some tests...but no pin.
Since i'm new in these "bootloader" and "so on" things, can anybody help me how to get rid of the sim card pin ?
thanks!
Use the PUK code
Use the PUK code delivered with your SIM to reset the PIN for the SIM. It has nothing to do with the bootloader.
If you've also lost the paper with the PUK code on it then try calling the Service Provider from whom the SIM came.
If the Service Provider can't help you then you're on your own.
Regards,
Mark
yeah
IF i had the PUK . . .
Vodafone online will provide puk, just log on to internet.
Hi,
I have a prepaid sim card. When ever i start my phone, i have to enter the pin of the sim card.
In Nokia I was able to save this PIN in one of the phone settings and thus it enabled me to restart my phone and use it without me entering the PIN.
Is there any setting like in Galaxy S II? Searched couldn't find it.
My phone is unbranded just in case
thanks
you can disable the PIN in security settings. No idea if that works the way you want it to but give it a try:
go to Settings -> Location and Security -> Sim Lock (translated roughfly, maybe it says something similar) -> untick "Lock SIM Card"

Hello All,
I recently rooted my ATT SGS2 and now it doesnt allow me to set a pin for the sim.
"Lock SIM card" under "Set up SIM card lock" is diabled and when I try to check it, it asks me a pin and when I enter some pin it says its a wrong pin. It only has 4 or 5 attempts and now I have only one attempt left. What is happening here. Any ideas?
I am unable to post link.
I just picked up my S2 last week and just started exploring this very thing. I thought it would be good to lock my SIM but, when I clicked on to use a pin and then change pin, it asks me for the old pin which I don't have. It went from 5 attempts left to one, even though I only entered one pin thinking I was setting it up. Now I'm afraid to touch it and I can't deselect the "Lock SIM Card" checkmark without entering a pin. I'm so confused. I've searched in XDA about it, but can't find anything.
Any gurus out there that might be able to help a twit that was smart enough to leave BB and come to Android?

Most likely its all 0's zeros.. that's what all my cell phones uses by default.
so if you purchased the phone brand new never used then 99% all zero's
Well, doing a little more searching and a -lot- more reading, I discovered that the 8 digit code is under your cell phone account at your carrier's site. I went to ATT, found the PUK code (eight digits). That's the pin. You enter that first, then you can change the pin to whatever you like. I opted to leave it alone.
Hello guys
I unlocked a P500h locked on Koodo, Canada with a code bought from ebay. I followed the instructions and succeeded from the first try.
I then received an SMS with settings (the sim is an Orange Romania roaming on Rogers network) and when I tried to install those I was asked for a PIN. I tried 4 0's (0000) but it didn't work.
Can anyone help me? Does it have to do with the phone or with the sim? What is the default value of such a pin?
Thanks in advance!
I guess you did the unlock this way?
Code:
1. Power ON your phone with not allowed sim card (one that didn’t come with the phone)
2. Type 2945#*500#
3. the phone will ask you to input the unlock code twice, just input the unlock code
4. Device is now unlocked
Can you post what it's askin precisely? Is it pin or pin2 for example?
Did you try the pin you received with your sim-card?
Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
It says
Pin code
The authentication should be done within 3 times.
Enter PIN code
And there's a box where I'm supposed to enter the PIN. I tried 0000 and 1234, but it didn't work.
I don't remember any pin other than the default 0000, which does not work.
I can input those settings by hand, no problem, but it pisses me off.
I can't call customer service 'cause I am not in Romania. Guess it'll wait till the summer.
But, what PIN is it asking?
Thanks for taking care of me. I am hitting the thanks button as soon as I submit my reply
Danke schon!
PS That was the method I used to unlock...the one that you pointed out... it cost me $2.99
so back again
recently had a post about my galaxy s2 ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1502801 ) having network connection problems
so since the galaxy was bought second hand, i unblocked it with helroz application. The point is - it doesn't recognize my sim card in the country where i am now (Orange - France -only emergency calls), but accpets my foreign sim card (Roaming of course - but connected to one of the operators (SFR)).
Does this suppose to mean it's barred?
Does not accept a sim card
Sim Card faulty
Sim Card blocked .
And what do you mean by not accept have you set the Orange network connections ??
jje
both 2 cards work perfectly on other phones, so i don't think it's sim card problem
for each card the gsm ask for pin code - correctly input
but only for the orange card shows - emergency calls only
by settings you mean the APN?
aren't they supposed to be automatic when you insert the sim?

Nope, sometime you need to configure yourself, send message by you network operator or manual install, just give them a call
APN are fine
they were correct, deleted anyway and input again, same situation....
other suggestions?
still don't get if phone is barred why is my foreign sim card working since it uses the roaming netowrk?
