PIN 1 protects your mobile phone against unauthorised use. PIN 2 is used to switch individual functions on or off. Both numbers were supplied together with your SIM card. Whenever you switch on your mobile phone, you must first enter PIN 1 correctly. Only then can you use it to make phone calls. Important If you enter the PIN code incorrectly three times consecutively, the SIM card is blocked automatically. 1.2 Unblocking your SIM card You can use the PUK (Personal Unblocking Key) to unblock the SIM card and reset your PIN code. The PUK code was also supplied with your SIM card and PIN code. Unblocking/resetting PIN 1 * * 0 5 * PUK 1 * new PIN 1 * new PIN 1 # Call key Unblocking/resetting PIN 2 * * * PUK 2 * new PIN 2 * new PIN 2 # Call key (You can also enter your old PIN code as new PIN.) Important Please consult the user guide for your mobile phone for information about special PIN functions. 1.3 Changing PIN codes Change your PIN 1 and PIN 2 when you use your mobile phone for the first time.

What to do if you lose your mobile phone What you should do and how to avoid losing lots of money. Act quickly 1. Call our 24-hour hotline ( ) immediately to block your SIM card. 2. On the latest generation of mobile phones, we can block the handset itself rather than the SIM card. If your mobile phone turns up again, it can be unblocked. 3. Report the theft to the police. Most importantly, give them the mobile phone s IMEI number (see below). Security measures Do not store your PIN and PUK codes together with your mobile phone. Keep the PIN code activated to block unauthorised access to your SIM card.
