Tap Set SIM lock (use either SIM 1 or SIM 2, if your phone supports Dual-SIM.) Disable Lock SIM card.

Theres really just one way to do it, and the method wont differ from one provider to another.

Heres all you should know about SIM cards, PIN codes, and how to avoid getting in this situation in the first place.

Locked SIM Causes Probably the most common ways to get your SIM card locked is to mistype your PIN code.

Usually, three failed attempts would be enough to block your card.

Todays smartphones let you get away with more failed attempts.

If you own an iPhone, its possible that when you switch SIM cards, the new one will be automatically locked.

Failed PIN Code Input Attempts If you fail to input the PIN code three times in a row, your SIM card will be blocked.

To unblock it youll need to follow the guide presented in this article.

Failed Pattern Attempt If you dont secure your phone with a PIN code and opt to just use the pattern instead, then youre less likely to get a blocked SIM.

Depending on the phone, you can get up to 10 pattern attempts before the SIM card is blocked.

However, even then, it will just be a temporary block after which you can try again.

The exact number of attempts and how long the block lasts may differ between manufacturers, carriers, and phone models.

Using the PUK Code To unlock a blocked SIM you need to use something called a PUK code.

One way to obtain the code is to contact your mobile carrier.

Heres how you can unlock your SIM card in minutes: Contact your carrier.

Start your phone.

Wait until you see the SIM Locked message or something similar.

A word of caution regarding PUK codes you can basically end your SIM card if you mistype the PUK three times.

Again, this may differ slightly from carrier to carrier, but its worth paying attention to.

Most SIM cards that have been blocked as a result of entering the PUK too many times incorrectly will be permanently blocked.

Tips to Avoid Blocking Your SIM or to Help Unlock It Faster Come up with a PIN thats easy to remember.

Get your PUK code as soon as you get your phone and write it down.

How to Configure Your PIN Code If you want to set a new PIN code on your Android device or if you want to disable the PIN code, you have to navigate to the Security section of the Settings app.

The exact path may differ slightly depending on the brand and model.

Open your phone. Go to Settings.

Find and tap the Security tab.
