Your SIM card comes with the PIN
feature deactivated and is thus ready for use.
If you desire to activate the PIN
feature please follow the instructions below. (It is advisable for you
to enable the PIN feature in order to prevent unauthorized access to your SIM
card).
To activate and personalize your PIN
- Your SIM PIN is a 4-digit secret number that protects
your phone from unauthorized use. All Airtel SIM Cards are
programmed with a default SIM PIN number.
- It is advisable that you change the default PIN
number to a 4-digit number of your choice. To change the PIN
number, enter your default PIN which is 1111 and the
desired new PIN in the sequence **04*defaultpin*newpin*newpin#
- Your new PIN can be any 4-digit number. (Just ensure
they are digits you can easily remember).
Please Note:
Once the PIN feature is
activated it will be required whenever you switch your phone on. If an
incorrect PIN is entered into your phone three consecutive times, your
phone will become PIN blocked, and you will require your PUK code to
unblock it. The PUK code is printed on the plastic body surrounding your
SIM card or on the SIM certificate.
To
unblock Your SIM card
If you mistakenly enter the
wrong PIN code three times in succession, your SIM card will get
blocked. This is a security measure that protects your phone from
unauthorized use. To unblock your SIM card, follow the procedure below:
- Find the PUK printed on your SIM plastic body or
certificate and: Simply type **05*PUK*new pin*new pin# and press
"Yes/Send/OK/Enter".
- Your 'new pin' can be a new PIN number or the old PIN
number you were using.
- If your SIM plastic body or certificate is lost, you
will need to apply for a new SIM certificate at any Airtel Centre. You
will also be required to complete a call history form and provide evidence
of purchase.
