Control Use
|
GeneralYou can protect against unauthorised use by setting appropriate restrictions. All are controlled by codes which differ depending on the type of restriction selected.
When you select a restriction, you will be asked to enter one of the following codes:
This is the number supplied with your SIM card to prevent misuse. You should also be supplied with a PUK (Personal Unblocking Key) which should be used in case your PIN is mislaid.
This is a second level of SIM control, sometimes used by a Communications Manager or Dealer.
This 4-8 digit code is created by you, when you first select it. If you make this the same as your PIN, a borrower knowing this (eg to switch on) could lift other restrictions.
The Call Barring restrictions are controlled in your Network. Your Operator will supply your PASSWORD (numeric code) on request.
These are special codes controlled by your Operator, Service Provider or Communications Manager.
