SIM card protection

You can lock and unlock each SIM card that you use in your device with a PIN

(Personal Identification Number). When a SIM card is locked, the subscription linked

to the card is protected against misuse, meaning that you have to enter a PIN every

time you start your device.
If you enter the PIN incorrectly too many times, your SIM card will get blocked. You

then need to enter your PUK (Personal Unblocking Key) and a new PIN. Your PIN and

PUK are supplied by your network operator.

Finding the identification number of your device

Your device has a unique identification number. This number is referred to as the IMEI

(International Mobile Equipment Identity). You should keep a copy of this number.

You may require it, for example, when you access the Xperia™ Care support service

to register your device. Also, if your device is stolen, some network providers can use

this number to stop the device from accessing the network in your country or region.
