My Samsung S20 ultra on Mint Mobile demands a pin after the first ring on dialed numbers. The sim card came “pinned” as well as a $9.95 replacement pin. Customer support provided two pin numbers neither worked. Obtained PUK from Mint Mobile and followed instructions to reset pin. That did not work either. Ordered another $9.95 sim card hoping that I can find a way to use or reset the sim card pin. Only get to make wifi calls. Any suggestions?

My phone keeps getting hacked. I do the factory reset thing and they were in it again in less than 10 minutes. They lock the sim card before I get the chance. Then do whatever they want with my phone. My tiny allotment of data was used up in days last month. I want control of my phone back but I’m too slow. I tried to get to the sim pin as soon as I could but, yah. Now I have 1 try left. I tried to get help from my carrier last month (cricket) and they treated me like shit and basically blew me off. So I wandered slowly out bewildered. I’ll be getting a new phone with a different carrier as soon as I can. But right now I need the device. It is infuriating.

Thanks, that worked. I used the info to remove the PIN from a SIM card which I plan to use in a GPS tracker (these devices only work without a PIN since obviously there is no way to enter a code). To do that, I first placed the card into a very old, but still working, Android phone, and followed the instructions.

This may sound crazy but honestly I’m kinda scared to even try it even once. Scared there’ll be a preset SIM PIN already. Scared it won’t be the typical 0000 or 1234 set by who the heck knows. Scared I won’t ever get it changed, even if I do figure out the original one. There is a lot more, but too many to list here. Don’t wanna bore anyone, I’m not that crazy (I hope), or mean.
I came across the SIM PIN lock screen on my Samsung Galaxy S10e, but no service carrier-only use on WiFi obviously, & no complaints from me for now. But, like I started above, too many fears re:SIM PIN for now, I just wanted to try & find out how to figure it all out when I finally scrape up enuf nerve to actually give it a try (or just find someone else to do it for me lol). All I want to do really is create (or change if need be) my own personal SIM card PIN for yet another extra layer of security & for my peace of mind too of course.
One final thought, & it is one that I believe another reader noticed & requested, just as I am currently attempting to do as well. In reading all of the above instructions, I don’t recall seeing anywhere exactly how or where an Android’s original SIM PIN is located. Am thinking maybe either I missed it or is it possible that I might have misread something, somewhere?
I do know that this article was so well written, w/step-by-step instructions, & each step includes a screenshot of that step, so the user can actually see & know what to expect at each step. There is not many out there that would actually take the time to write everything down, make it simple & easy to understand (even a child could follow easily), as well as include imagery assistance on top of eveeyrhing else. I will say that once my nerve grows (as above stated) I’m fairly positive there won’t be any issues as long as I follow this guide to the letter. Thank you again for providing almost everything I was searching for this evening. Hopefully the rest will make itself known in due time.

Call your mobile operator and ask them about the default PIN they use on their SIM cards. This info should be easily provided by their tech support service.

My Sim pin has already been pre set and I’ve never had to enter it after a restart. Someone is stealing my data cause Google archives said my scheduled data transfer as requested and something called inactive device manager said my data would be going to the person I requested but i neverI never requested anythibg
