Lock if sim card Changed

Hi Guys,
I have a Nokia 9500 symbian operating system phone and have enabled the "lock if sim card changed" option. And now when I put a new sim to my phone it gets locked and for unlocking request the password or even when I put back my old sim and try to off the setting of sim change it requests for password. And unfortunately I have forgotten the password; and please don't bombard me that whey enbled this option and give password if I can't remember it; actually it's first time I have forgotten a password. So does anyone know how to off this option and use other sims in my cellphone.
Thanks,

you can reset your handset back to factory by turning off the handset, remove battery cover and battery, open handset and hold CTRL+Shift+F and re insert the battery at the same time continuing to hold this key combination down, the nokia logo will show on the internal screen and then it will turn grey and ask if you wish to confirm the format, choose yes and the format will load and the handset will re-boot. Unfortunatly all of your data will be lost but will get your handset working again.
doing this is a little tricky so be prepared to try more than once
Short but to the point.

Each time I turn off my Maxx, it locks the SIM card, need PUK to unlock

Each time I have to turn my Maxx off, it locks the SIM card and needs the PUK number to unlock it. I'm so sick of this. Can anyone please help me? TYIA!

Hello Matthew,
When I got my phone, I wanted to lock it so it required the 4 digit PIN code to get into it. I did that, using the "Set up SIM card lock" function, and, I just checked "SIM card lock settings" and it has a check mark beside "Require PIN to use phone". It has never been set up for encryption. I've only had it a few weeks. I never tried to set up encryption, nor did I do anything that made the PUK number be required after my phone has been turned off. It just started after I'd had it a couple of weeks. I'm going to be traveling by plane quite often, and will have to turn off my phone. I'm not sure what to do at that point. Any help you can give me will be most appreciate!
Thank you!!

I"ve locked the SIM card on my phone after entering the wrong passcode 3 times. I've got my PUK code but don't know what to do with it

I've locked my SIM card by entering the passcode incorrectly 3 times. Do I need a PUK code and how do I use it?

Hello everyone!
I have an E66 device and I haven't found Lock if SIM card changed option in the Settings/General/Security/Phone and SIM card menu. Does anybody knows how can I enable this feature? Is it removed from this device - or automatically enabled?
Thanks in advance,

Locked iphone SIM card

I have an iPhone 3GS. Originally, it was locked on a certain Canadian carrier (Rogers). It's been unlocked and I'm using a different carrier now (Fido). I'm going to be getting a new Rogers SIM card soon and I want to be able to update the firmware. If I re-lock the phone (so that I can update the Firmware), can any Rogers SIM card work or does it have to be the original SIM card that was in the phone before it was unlocked?
Thanks in advance!

Only solution would be to contact AT&T and see if they will unlock your phone for you. If they don't, then you will have to buy an unlocked phone, or a phone locked to Greek carrier.

If you enter your password on the ipad too many times and your sim card locks, is there a way of recovery without replacing the sim card?

That doesn't lock the SIM card, it just locks you out of the device.
If you forgot (or don't know) your passcode, restore the device from backup on the last computer it was synced with when the passcode was turned on... this will remove the passcode. If you do not have access to the last computer it was synced with, you will have to force it into recovery mode & restore as a new device.

Locked sim card! please help

i accidentally locked my sim card on my iphone 4s and i need a PUK code. I called customer support and they said i didn't need the sim card so i could remove it. I really would just like to reset the code. Please help!

Note you do not need a currently working SIM, only one that was activated at some time in the past on the phone's locked network. It can also be a currently working SIM from another phone; it is only needed for a few minutes. You can also, as you suggest, bu a prepaid SIM, but that will cost you the minimum for a prepaid SIM with your carrier.

Sim card keeps locking

Hi, my husband has just changed telcos and every time he turns his iPhone 4s off it locks his SIM card which means that every time he turns it on again he has to unlock the SIM card before he can use his phone. We rang the telco and as seems to be quite normal for offshore telcos these days they 'passed the buck' they told us that it wasn't their fault and that we would have to take it up with Apple. (Problem is, we have run out of technical support with Apple and we can't ring them. Why do telcos always try to 'pass the buck' instead of solving their own problems!)
Thanks for your thoughts, Natalia

If the SIM is locking, then that would explain why you cannot make or receive calls. If you go to settings, phone, and scroll down to SIM PIN, is that turned on? If it is turned off and the SIM contines to ask for a password, then I suggest a reset and/or restore. Those would be the only options that I can think of regarding the SIM lock. As far as connection to your car, and I realize the language barrier here, I guess you mean to connect to your car's audio via bluetooth? Does the car support handsfree telephone? If so, you need to put the iPhone into the search mode. Go to settings, general, bluetooth and turn the bluetooth on so it can pair. You will need to have it see the car audio after it is put into discovery mode. If you are trying to transfer contacts to the car, it may not work. It only seems to work on some vehicles. Also, the bluetooth profile in your vehicle may not be compatible with the iPhone. Because there are a number of bluetooth profiles out there, yours MAY not be supported.

Well, you're wrong, & in fact not only is it locked, GCI does not offer unlocking for iPhones.
Fact is your post won't help the OP.
And you are 100% sure its locked to them? How can you know this? While GCI does not offer unlocking that does not mean the phone is actually locked to it. Get off your high horse.
Its possible the original owner had an unlocked phone. he was using with GCI. Or that GCI doesn't actually have locked phones. Seeing as they don't even have their own infrastructure but instead use AT&T's I doubt they'd have iPhones specifically locked to them and that would be the reason they do not offer unlocking (because there's nothing for them to unlock). And just to clarify, I'm not saying for a fact its not locked to them. It very well maybe be, but without knowing more about the phone and going by the fact GCI uses AT&T infrastrucure its possible its not locked. But here's no way to say for sure either way.
Trying a Sim card from AT&T or another carrier might just help the OP if its actually unlocked or locked to AT&T rather than GCI.

Getting an Apple SIM card

Has anyone been able to get an Apple sim card from an Apple store? - they dont seem to be available from the online store - I have an iPad Air2 and im reluctant to activate it with ATT unless i have another sim card since ATT locks the SIM card to them if you activate with them
You cant order them by calling Apple because they wont take credit cards over the phone (at leas thats what they told me)

Use the Apple Store app to get the contact info for ypur nearest Apple Store. Then give them a call.

Where exactly did you get the phone? That message indicates that the phone is carrier locked to a carrier other than the one you are trying to use. Note that if the phone is locked to (for example) Orange in the UK, then you can NOT use it on Orange in France. They are not the same carrier, even though they have the same parent.
It's possible that the SIM you have is defective, but I would normally expect to see a different message if that were the case.

I got an iphone from Hong Kong which is locked one. Can anyone explain me what does a locked iphone means. How do I use it in India now, with my own sim card. How do I unlock it???

If your iPhone is locked to a wireless provider, only that wireless provider
can unlock it. Contact the wireless provider in Hong Kong to see if they
offer unlocking and if you qualify.
If your iPhone is locked to an AppleID that you do not know, return it for
a refund as it is useless. Only the person whose AppleID was used for
activation can remove the lock. There is no workaround for Activation Lock.
If neither of the above is what you are facing, provide more detail so someone
may offer a solution.
