On my old Samsung it was possbile not only set a password for the SIM but also for the phone ...
I ask if there is a similar App for Android that I cannot find it because all the App I found say: "if SIM card is changed ...."
The goal is to protect my data saved on gmail account ...
I meant an App that works during the start up (powering on the phone) and if there is no SIM inside or a different SIM, it block the phone....
When the screen turn off someone can always remove the battery and the SIM and turn on again the phone and usign a wi-fi can easily check mu e mail !!! and it is very risky in my opinion!
SOMEONE KNOWS SOMETHING?
Thanks!

I`ve just found an old sim card I used to use in my drawer and thought I would see if it had any credit left on it,but I cant for the life of me remember the pin code I used with it.
Would I be able to find it with a sim card reader or would I need hardware and software(that is a file recovery program) to use the sim card again.?
The same question would I need a sim card reader to restore deleted text messages from this or other sim cards or are they recoverable from the phone memory?
I assuume its the same method for all android phones
TIA
You need a PUK code from your network. Call them up and ask them.

Thanks for the reply!
Sorry i think you mis understood the question,it is not the phone that is locked just the sim card that is protected with a pin number.If I enter that incorrectly 3 times then the phone will lock and I will need the PUK from the service provider.but I dont want to lock the phone as I`m using it with a differant providers sim card.
I just want to read the old card to see the contacts and sms messages that may be saved on it.But I cant remember the pin I protected it with for the life of me!
there alot of things you can do with a reader even clone the sim or so im told
Which is illegal I believe, if you use both at the same time.

My network service provider gave me a second data only sim card for my nexus 7 3g tablet. So I have 2 simcards but only one number...
Before I got the 2. data only sim everything was OK with the voice+data sim in my SGS3 Mini, but after I installed the 2. data only card in my tablet sms and video calls are "routed" to my tablet. I want to permanently install the tablet in my car so I need sms, video calls and notifications on my phone. I tried to google and read somewhere that the network would use the sim registered last or most recently as primary simcard, so I tried to turn off my phone for a few minutes, but this doesn't seem to solve my issue. I use cyanogenmod11 on both my tablet and phone, so is there anyway to configure calls, sms and video to my phone instead of the tablet?
I tried to search my service providers knowledge base but didn't find any info regarding my extra data only simcard so I guess this is a new option.
I have looked into what this could mean, and finding that I have a pin on my sim but I dont
I can put my sim in my origonal device and works fine
this phone has been flashed with 2 roms both no signal only the 2nd rom was giving me this message at top of screen
one thing though, I am having to enter the sim unlock(phone lock from Three) code every time I reboot the phone, I obtained this code using the famous term emulater and running that specific string, this code enters fine and says
SSIM network unlock PIN, enters code, then gets - SIM Network unlock successful
any ideas
Forgot to add, if I go to settings, security, setup SIM/RUIM card lock
I click lock sim card and specify a code
Then tells me it cant because there already is one
I can choose Change SIM PIN, by entering the old one (12345? guess) then a new one
I have 1 attempt remaing before I have to contact my phone carrier
Phone is from 3 Mobile but my Sim is from O2, if I put this sim into my origonal device there is no PIN
Any ideas?

I would follow the other method on that guide and SIM unlock that way. It will be 100% successful and then you will know if your SIM card has a pin lock or if your device is having trouble. Remember that you need to be on gingerbread firmware to use the diag.nbh so search the forums and read up before you act

I purchased a S6 on EE a week ago. Has been working fine with an ee sim, however I have not made any calls or texts yet, just using the phone for Internet on wifi etc.
I have a regular three sim which I would like to use so I have trimmed it down with scissors and this made me cut part of the gold contact bit off (I read online this shouldnt affect the sim).
I'm guessing this phone is locked as when I insert the sim it detects a new sim has been inserted, it makes me restart too. Upon booting up however it says no sim card/ emergency calls only however I see a solid connection. I cannot make any calls as it says not registered to a network or something.
Now my question is that is the phone picking up the sim card? If yes why is it not prompting me with a sim unlock code screen? Secondly is my phone not detecting the sim card at all? Is that the reason why I am not prompted with a unlock code screen? All help is appreciated. Thank you.
Go onto settings, then onto Mobile Networks, then Network Operators, then Search Networks then click the Three carrier. It will take a few mins to search for all the networks so do not back out.
Hello,
I have mount my old android phone as an entertainment and maps (3g connection required) system in my car. I have already made it to startup and shutdown automatically with car radio but problem is I have a SIM card blocked with PIN code. Card is from Orange and I can't turn off code requirement because operator doesn't allow it.
Is there any way to save sim pin code into some system file or autofill code form ?
It is boring when phone turns on itself but I have to type sim pin each time ;/
Thanks for answer
