Access codes


PIN code

(4-8 digits)

This protects your SIM card against unauthorized use or is required to access some features.

You can set your phone to ask for the PIN code when you switch it on.

If not supplied with your SIM card or you forget the code, contact your service provider.

If you type in the code incorrectly three times in a row, you need to unblock the code with the PUK code.

PUK code

(8 digits)

This is required to unblock a PIN code.

If not supplied with your SIM card, contact your service provider.

IMEI number

(15 digits)

This is used to identify valid phones in the network. The number can also be used to block, for example, stolen phones.You may also need to give the number to Nokia Care services.

To view your IMEI number, dial *#06#.

Lock code (security code)

(min. 5 digits or characters)

This helps you protect your phone against unauthorized use.

You can set your phone to ask for the lock code that you define.

Keep the code secret and in a safe place, separate from your phone.

If you forget the security code, and cannot recover it, your personal data is deleted before you can use the phone again. If you've set the number of times you can type in the wrong security code, your phone deletes your data and resets itself back to original settings after the last try. If you haven't limited the number of times, your phone requires service before you can use it again.

For more information, contact Nokia Care or your phone dealer.

The personal unblocking key (PUK) code and the universal personal unblocking key (UPUK) code (8 digits) are required to change a blocked PIN code and UPIN code, respectively. These codes are not supplied with the SIM card. Contact your local service provider for the codes.
