Access codes

If you forget any of the access codes, contact your service

provider.
Personal identification number (PIN) code — This code

protects your SIM card against unauthorised use. The PIN

code (4 - 8 digits) is usually supplied with the SIM card. After

three consecutive incorrect PIN code entries, the code is

blocked, and you need the PUK code to unblock it.

UPIN code — This code may be supplied with the USIM card.

The USIM card is an enhanced version of the SIM card and is

supported by 3G mobile phones.

PIN2 code — This code (4 - 8 digits) is supplied with some

SIM cards, and is required to access some functions in your

device.

Lock code (also known as security code) — The lock code

helps you to protect your device against unauthorised use.

The preset code is 12345. You can create and change the code,

and set the device to request the code. Keep the new code

secret and in a safe place separate from your device. If you

forget the code and your device is locked, your device will

require service. Additional charges may apply, and all the

personal data in your device may be deleted. For more

information, contact a Nokia Care Point or your device dealer.

Personal Unblocking Key (PUK) code and PUK2 code — These

codes (8 digits) are required to change a blocked PIN code or

PIN2 code, respectively. If the codes are not supplied with the

SIM card, contact the network service provider whose SIM

card is in your device.

UPUK code — This code (8 digits) is required to change a

blocked UPIN code. If the code is not supplied with the USIM

card, contact the network service provider whose USIM card

is in your device.

International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI)

number — This number (15 or 17 digits) is used to identify

valid devices on the GSM network. Devices that are, for

example, stolen, can be blocked from accessing the network.

The IMEI number for your device can be found under the

battery.
