-------------------
 

When you select a restriction, you will be asked to enter one of the following codes:


PIN

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.


PIN2

This is a second level of SIM control, sometimes used by a Communications Manager or Dealer.


PHONECODE

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.


PASSWORD

The Call Barring restrictions are controlled in your Network. Your Operator will supply your PASSWORD (numeric code) on request.


NETWORK/SERVICE P./ CORPORATE CODE

These are special codes controlled by your Operator, Service Provider or Communications Manager.


Attention
 


You are allowed only 3 attempts to enter the correct code, the function will then be locked. Ensure that the codes are kept securely! If they are mislaid (see Link Troubleshooting).

Call Screening

This "Secretarial" function ensures that you are only disturbed by "Known" callers (whose number matches your PhoneBook). Other callers will assume "No Reply" or may be diverted (e.g. to Voice Message) if this is set.

It depends on the new "Caller Identity" feature, which may not be available in all networks. Note that where calls are not identified, they will not ring.

Only known calls will ring

Will be displayed when set.

Certain SIM cards will enable the above restriction in a special SIM memory (shown as * PhoneBook). This is controlled by PIN 2, and could already be set, limiting your phone for business use.
