To access the SIM Card

• Take off the lid off the E156G
• Remove the USIM/SIM card slot from the E156G
• Insert the USIM/SIM card into the card slot
• Insert the card slot into the E156G

The ICCID number is the 19 digit number on back of the SIM card (the opposite side to the chip).

Each time you start up ConnectionManager with a device installed, you will be asked for the Personal Identification Number (PIN) of your SIM. When you enter your PIN code it is shielded.

If you enter the wrong PIN code three times in succession your SIM card will be blocked. You will then need the eight-digit PUK (PIN Unblock Key) from FREEDOM4 WiFi to unblock the PIN again.

You can change your PIN settings on the Settings > General > PIN screen. You can either change your PIN or disable/enable PIN requests.

When you change your PIN code, you need to provide both your old PIN and a new, at least four digit long PIN, which you'll also need to confirm.

When you want to disable or enable PIN requests, you will need to provide your current PIN.

It is not possible to change your PIN code when you have disabled your PIN request.

It is possible that your SIM gets blocked by entering the wrong PIN code 3 times when disabling or enabling a PIN request, or when you change your PIN code.

If you enter the wrong PIN code three times in succession your SIM card will be blocked. You will then need the eight-digit PUK (PIN Unblock Key) from your FREEDOM4 WiFi to unblock the PIN again.
