Some SIM cards are protected with a PIN (Personal Identity Number)
at the time of purchase. If the SIM card lock is activated, you have to
enter the PIN every time you turn on your phone. If you enter your
PIN incorrectly three times in a row, the SIM card is blocked. This is
indicated by the message

If this happens you need
