Why isn't SIM PIN code respected after reset?

I have a PIN code set for my SIM card, and I just noticed this: if I shut down and then reboot my iPhone, I'm asked for the PIN code before I gain control. However, if I reset the iPhone (by holding the mute and home buttons down until the phone shuts down) and then reboot it, my phone reboots without requesting a PIN code.
Anyone else?

Hi odysseus,
The iPhone should not ask you for a SIM pin after being reset.
+"If you've already entered the SIM PIN since powering on iPhone, and you reset iPhone or toggle Airplane mode, the SIM PIN is not required."+

    There are two things you should be talking about here.  If its the Passcode, then this article may help you. (Pretty much restore your device)  http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212  If it's asking for a SIM PIN, then thats covered here. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1316  Hope this helps!

  • SIM PIN code 1020 WP8.1 re-enter

    Hello,
    Ever since I've installed the latest update of WP8.1 (8.10.12397.895) Developers Preview on my Lumia 1020 the phone looses its connection with the GSM network (4G) and asks me to re-enter the SIM PIN code serveral times a day. I re-enter the code as soon as I discover this, but in the mean time the phone is not on the GSM network so I won't receive calls. As soon as the phone drops the network connection it briefly displays the Windows logo as if the phone was rebooted.
    I hope this will be corrected in an next release, or beter in the final release that will come together with the Cyan update.
    L8r, Henk

    I think my problem is solved. My attention was drawn to an article on the user forum of my provider. Someone with an Android phone was experiencing fairly similar problems.
    When my provider started with 4G a year ago they used a specialised Access Point (AP) for 4G as their default AP was not suitable for 4G at that time. During one of the many updates since, the special AP disappeared from my 1020, but since my wife’s 920 did not have the update yet I recreated the 4G AP and copied the settings from her phone. Now it seems I’d better not done that. The guy with the Android phone found out that in the meantime my provider started supporting 4G in their default AP. And that the specialised 4G AP was nog longer supported and thus should not have been used anymore. The fact that the AP disappeared during an update should have warned me.
    Anyway, a couple of days ago I selected the default AP and have not had any SIM PIN code issues since. Whereas with the old 4G AP I had to re-enter the code within 2 hours at max as soon as I came at work and my phone connected to my works Wi-Fi (under control of an MDM).

    Make sure that the exact billing address on your banking statement is the same as what is on your itunes store account.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1646?viewlocale=en_US
    Also, if you owe itunes store funds, it will give the error message as well. If you do owe, you have to provide an itunes store gift card to cover the balance before placing the CC back on file.

  • SIM pin code.

    So I enabled my SIM card pin. My question is, shouldnt the iPhone prompt me to enter my pin number on restart? Similar to when you enable the passcode function.
    Thanks.

    Yes with restart I mean re-boot on /off.
    Strange it didnt ask me to enter PIN, it merely stated that SIM was locked. The SIM LOCK message was displayed where the the network logo was.
    I had to manually go into settings and disable pin for the unit to go online.

  • Why isn't my received code for the PDF working (Mountain Lion up-to-date mail)?!

    After almost 3 days of waiting I finally got three (not two) mails from Apple. One with the code that should open the PDF that has the Mac App Store code for getting Mountain Lion. And instead of one mail with the PDF, I got two of them. The code I got didn't work on any of those PDF's.
    What should I do?

    same issue here, nearly 50 hours wait, 3 emails, nothing works, no softwear if i knew this was gonna be such a hassle i wouldnt have bought my macbook pro when i did and waited. really disapointed as friends have it up and running now and i dont.
    finally it worked and is now downloading but taking its sweet time.

  • TS2446 Why is my account still disabled even after resetting my password?

    I have not been on my account for awhile but when I did I had forgotten my ID and password info.  When I recovered it from a note I found, I reset the password but was still unable to buy music and dowload.  When I went to dowload a song, it said my account was disable and to contact support.

    If you haven't already done so then you can contact iTunes Support via this link and ask them why the message is appearing (we are fellow users here on these forums, we won't know why) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • Why can't I log in immediately after resetting my password? (using the new password)

    Hi,
    I can't find the proper forum for this so I'm posting it here.
    It is a problem with logging in to this very support board.
    It's not your basic "I lost my password" problem.
    I have an Apple ID. I try to log in and it says "wrong username or password" (even though the same username-password combination will log me in to iTunes).
    So I go through the process of restting my password, aswering security questions, which I do successfully and I reset my password. Then I go to log-in to the support boards, with my new just-changed password, and it comes up with the same response "wrong username or password".
    Over and over again. So in order to even seek any assistance, I need to make a whole new profile just to ask the question on this support board.
    I thought that apple ids and their passwords worked across all apple programs. As I said, the Apple ID/password combination that I use for iTunes will be rejected on the support boards, and even the ID/password combination that I've just reset will not allow me access to the support boards.
    Any help please?
    Thanks,
    Phelps

  • Why do my ebooks not work anymore after resetting my computer?

    i formated my computer, since then my ebooks cannot be opened. The error that shows is: E_lic_already_fulfilled_by_another_user
    i only have one Adobe-ID and my Digital Edition is authorized with it.
    i contacted my ebook provider and they say they cannot reset the ebooks. They also told me, that it is possible, that i did not register with Adobe before i got the first ebooks and that adobe, in that case, creatse an account for my computer, i do not know anything about?
    I defenetly remember that my DE was already authorized with my current adobe-id and that all my ebooks worked fine before resetting my computer.
    What am i to do? Is it possible for adobe to connect this mysterious Account (if it does exist) with my current ID?
    i would be very thankful, if anybody knows what i can do!

  • Sim Pin Bug?

    Hi,
    I'm not sure but I may have found a bug in the new iOS using iPhone 5. I've done a search for the scenario which I'll explain. But I can't seem to see anyone replicating this.
    I have a pin set for both the unlocking of the phone and for the sim also. On reboot of the phone it asks for these and a call can't be made until the sim is unlocked. Standard behaviour. On the iPhone 4 I used to have, the phone would ask for these directly after each other. However with the iPhone 5 the sim pin is asked after the phone has been unlocked for a few seconds.
    I've found if you reset the phone (hold the home button and the power button until the apple appears and the phone reboots) put in the unlock code and then quickly before the phone asks for the sim pin touch an app or go into settings, the phone doesn't ask for the sim pin and you can make calls. The setting still shows that sim pin is active and this doesn't work if you reboot with the power button then slide to off and repower on the phone.
    I was just wondering if anyone is able to replicate this. Or if this is the normal behaviour. It seems pointless to have a sim pin if you can bypass it like this.

  • PIN-code ändern

    wie kann ich mein iPhone 4 SIM PIN-Code änern

    If you mean the security code (which protects your phone) rather than the PIN (which protects your SIM) then the default on all Nokia phones is 12345.
