You'll need a code to unlock your Nextel SIM card.
Your Nextel SIM card holds sensitive information: your phone number, contacts and other subscriber information. You can protect it from unauthorized use by enabling a security feature called a SIM PIN. The PIN is a four- to eight-digit code that, when activated, must be entered when your phone is powered on. Three incorrect code entries will block your PIN. You'll need to contact Nextel customer support for a PUK (PIN Unblock Code).
Instructions
1. Power your phone on. An "Enter SIM PIN Code" message will display if the lock is enabled.
2. Use your phone's keypad to type in the four- to eight-digit PIN. (If you have not changed your PIN, enter the default PIN of "0000.")
3. Press "OK." If you have entered the correct code, a "SIM Unlocked" confirmation will be displayed. If you receive an error and do not know your PIN, continue to Step 4.
4. Enter in the default PIN two more times; "SIM Blocked" or "Enter PUK" will be displayed. Do not attempt to guess the PUK; ten incorrect entries will permanently lock your SIM card.
5. Contact Nextel customer support by calling 1-800-639-6111 to obtain your PUK code and specific instructions on enter the code in to your phone. This process varies by phone make and model.
6. Enter the PUK code when prompted. You will then be prompted to enter a new PIN. Enter in a four- to eight-digit code of your choosing and press "OK."
7. Enter the new SIM PIN again to confirm and press "OK." Provided all codes were entered correctly, a "SIM Unlocked" confirmation will be displayed.
