Reference

Siemens

Note

• When entering the SIM PIN or PUK you have a maximum of three attempts to

enter each number.

• For passwords associated to the phone lock ("PS" lock set by client or factory)

or other factory set locks, such as "PF", "PN", "PU", "PP", "PC" the number of
attempts is subject to a timing algorithm explained in Chapter 4.31.1. If these
passwords are incorrectly entered the counter first returns 3, 2 and 1 remaining
attempt(s), but then gives the total number of attempts which amounts to 63
(see example below).

• See also Chapters 4.18, 4.31 4.32, 4.34, 8.13 for further information on locks

and passwords.

Example

Though a mobile is locked to a specific SIM card (phone lock), the client attempts
to operate it with another SIM card. The client correctly enters the SIM PIN of the
SIM card currently inserted, but then fails to give the "PS" lock password (PH-SIM
PUK):

at+cpin=9999

OK

at+cpin?

+CPIN: PH-SIM PIN

ME is waiting for the phone lock password
