PINs or PIN2s have 4-8 digits.
These codes protect your SIM card against unauthorised use or are required to access some
features. You can set your phone to ask for the PIN when you switch it on.

provider.
If you enter the code incorrectly 3 times in a row, you’ll need to unblock the code with the PUK
or PUK2 code.
