Access codes

Your phone and SIM card use different codes for security.

  • PIN or PIN2 codes: These codes protect your SIM card against unauthorised use. If you forget the codes or they aren‘t supplied with your card, contact your network service provider. If you type in the code incorrectly 3 times in a row, you'll need to unblock the SIM with the PUK or PUK2 code.
  • PUK or PUK2 codes: These codes are required to unblock a PIN or PIN2 code. If the codes are not supplied with your SIM card, contact your network service provider.
  • Screen lock: The screen lock helps you protect your phone against unauthorised use. You can set your phone to ask for the screen lock code that you've set. Keep the code secret, and if you have to write it down store it in a safe place, separate from your phone. If you forget the code and your phone is blocked, your phone will require servicing. Additional charges may apply and all the personal data on your phone may be deleted. For more information, contact the nearest care point for your phone or your phone retailer.
  • IMEI code: The IMEI code is used to identify phones in the network. You may also need to give the number to customer services or your phone retailer. To view your IMEI number, dial *#06#. Your phone's IMEI code is also printed on your phone's label, which is located under the battery. The IMEI is also visible on the phone's original packaging.
