PIN lock on a SIM

I have the iPhone 3g and when i turn my phone on it says please insert a valid SIM card with no PIN lock. what can i do so i can use my iPhone?

Go back to your carrier. Take the phone with you. If they are a supported carrier, they should be able to give you a SIM and get it working in the shop.

  • Pin/ lock on the sim of lumia 820

    how do i put a pin/ lock on the sim of lumia 820 please?

    Hi nikkifinn66,
    In addition to farby's reply, PIN Code protects your SIM card against unauthorised use and is required to access some network-related features. You can set your phone to ask for the PIN code when you switch it on by going to Settings, flick on Applications, tap Phone, and then switch SIM Security ON. 
    Note: If this is the first time a PIN has been set for the SIM card in your phone, type the PIN code you got from the operator, and then tap Enter. 1234 is a common default PIN for some SIM cards. If the PIN code does not work, contact your mobile operator for the correct default PIN.
    If you want to customize or personalize the PIN, you just have to go back to Settings, flick on Applications, tap Phone, with SIM security switched on, tap Change SIM PIN (at the bottom). The new SIM PIN must be 4 to 8 digits long.
    Hope this helps.
    Cheers!

    You will need to establish an account with whoever the phone is locked with and restore it. Or you will not to unofficially unlock it again.

    If you can't get it to work via that information, you'll need to get a new SIM from your cell carrier.

  • No SIM card installed insert a valid SIM with no pin lock to activate iphone

    Dear Sir, Recently I noticed that my iphone 3GS is responding very slowly, I thought it got hanged due to the high memory usage so I restarted it but after the restart it showed me iTunes logo & a USB cable. Though the SIM card inside the phone doesn’t have any lock but the message says: No SIM card installed insert a valid SIM with no pin lock to activate iphone. When I connected it to itunes I get this message: iTunes could not connect to the iPhone because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the iPhone before it can be used with iTunes, there was a passcode on my iphone which can not be unlocked now as after sliding the arrow the only options I get are: emergency calls & info’s  as IMEI: 01 215500 xxxxxx x & ICCID: Unknown. I was suggested to delete the complete programme & get the iTunes reinstalled but I don’t want to lose my data. Can you help me to get my data back? Pls. reply ASAP. Thanks & regards.

    ICCID unknown is a critical failure, usually caused by hacking or jailbreaking the phone. It can not be fixed. The phone will need to be replaced.

  • New Iphone 4 factory unlocked: "No SIM" "Insert Valid SIM with no pin lock"

    Hi, I'm new in the forum.
    I've just bought a new factory unlocked Iphone 4 from a top rated seller in USA, came back to my country, inserted my Sim in the Iphone, and got the message:
    "No Sim" "Insert valid sim with no pin lock to activate Iphone"
    This Sim I was using in my old Iphone and actually in a Blackberry Storm.
    After the message I put it back again in the BB, and it works fine.
    But in the Iphone I get always this message.
    One thing: My SIM is a regular one, and I had to use a tempalte available in the net to cut it into a micro SIM.
    In the BB it keeps on working.
    Any idea?
    Thnak you
    Luis

    I answer your question:  I buy a lot of things from ebay, and I just looked for "an original factory unlocked" one, assuming their are original, just that.
    If I had known I could have bought it CHEAPER directly in Apple, I would have never done it in ebay! (I was told in my country that if you buy in the web, normally you get a discount, sound logic to me.
    On the other hand I saw that this seller sold over 1000 Iphones and I trusted that's all.
    I'm not dealing with phones, I sell art.
    Anyway I still trust what is written there, that they are factory unlocked, and I'll try what you say tomorrow with my carrier: I'll buy a micro sd, and if it still doesn't work, I'll write this seller to see what's going on
    Thanks for your advice

    Error 20, 21, 23, 26, 28, 29, 34, 36, 37, 40
    These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. Use the steps to troubleshoot security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
    Also, check your hosts file to verify that it's not blocking iTunes from communicating with the update server. See the steps under the heading "Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > Mac OS X > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store." If you have software used to perform unauthorized modifications to the iOS device, uninstall this software prior to editing the hosts file to prevent that software from automatically modifying the hosts file again on restart.

  • Pin lock suddenly appeared

    Hi, I have an xperia tablet which has worked fine since bought last october. I went to use it a few weeks ago now.It has always been set to 'swipe to unlock' but now it is asking for a pin code, which I did not set up. And now I am locked out!
    I have searched the inrternet but any tips about holding down volume and power button just don't work and I cannot find anything else.
    For added info the only app it has on there outsde of the standard ones is bittorrent.
    As a last ditch I hooked it up to my mac this evening where it says there is a new software update available, but I first need to charge the tablet to 80% before it will install. Interestingly it connected up to the computer while the tablet was technically 'locked' still.
    Help please. Rather peeved at not having a useable tablet...!
    Thanks!

    well, it could be a 
    SIM lock 
    or
    a Pin lock (settings > security > lock > pin lock)
    or 
    it could be an antivirus app

  • Is there an App to Manually, Fully Pin-Lock Screen?

    I always carry my phone in my pocket and the default drag-to-unlock screen isn't cutting it (answering calls in my pocket, unlocking itself). However, I don't want to always have to enter a pin to unlock my phone, only when I'm going to be biking with it in my pocket (which is at least twice a day). What I would like to see is an app that I can put on my taskbar that I could press once to put the phone in a true locked state that requires a password to unlock. I don't want it to be able to answer calls and I don't want it accidentally dialing emergency numbers either (this isn't a problem if the app allows sliding out the keyboard to access emergency numbers without a password). After the password has been entered, the app doesn't lock the screen again until it is manually loaded.
    Unless I'm missing something, the default screen locking options on the Veer (currently running webOS 2.1.2) can not be used in this way. Every time I want to turn the pin lock back on, I have to load the app, scroll down to the locking section, enter a pin to use, and then reenter the pin to use, which of course is way more time-consuming than just hitting a single button that retains your password.
    I know the seemingly obvious solution is to face the screen out in my pocket instead of toward my leg, but I've always put it screen-side facing in to protect the screen since I don't use a case. An ideal solution for me would be an app-based one.
    Thanks to anyone who can help!

    If your Mac was locked with Find My Mac, you'll have to take it to an Apple store or authorized service provider to have it unlocked.  You will need to bring the necessary paperwork to prove that it is yours.  From http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4006:
    "Only Apple retail stores or Apple Authorized Service Providers can unlock computers protected by a firmware password, such as passwords set with Find My Mac.
    If you cannot remember the firmware password for your computer, schedule a service appointment with either an Apple Retail Store or an Apple Authorized Service Provider. If you plan to visit an Apple Retail store, make areservation at the Genius Bar (only available in some countries)."

    is it possible to lock a 3G sim card pay as you go so you can chose to only use it once all WIFI possibilities have been tested?

    You can turn off Cell Data in the Settings. Your iPad should then not be able to connect to your cell service until you turn that setting back on.
