SIM Card Protection You can lock and unlock each SIM card that you use in your device with a PIN (Personal Identification Number). When a SIM card is locked, the subscription linked to the card is protected against misuse, meaning you have to enter a PIN every time you start your device. If you enter the PIN incorrectly too many times, your SIM card will get blocked. You then need to enter your PUK (Personal Unblocking Key) and a new PIN. Your PIN and PUK are supplied by your service provider.

You get incoming communication to both SIM cards and you can select which number you want to place outgoing communication from. Before you can use both SIM cards, you need to enable them and select which SIM card will handle data traffic. You can forward calls that come in on SIM card 1 to SIM card 2 when SIM card 1 is unreachable, and vice versa. This function is called Dual SIM reachability. You must enable it manually.
