Using Your SIM Card’s PIN
When you receive your SIM card, you will be provided with a
Personal Identification Number (PIN), a four-digit number used to
verify the identity of a user for security purposes. Below are some
tips to keep in mind regarding your SIM card’s PIN:
ⅷ
You will be prompted to enter your PIN each time you power
the phone on with the SIM card installed (whether or not your
phone is in GSM mode). Keep your PIN handy.
ⅷ
If you enter an incorrect PIN three times in a row, your phone
will lock itself and your PIN will no longer be accepted. You will
be prompted to enter a PUK (Personal Unblocking Key) code.
You will need to call Sprint PCS International Roaming Solutions
from a landline phone to get the PUK code.
