Bypass sim pin?

8 replies · 3,919 views · Started 10 June 2003

Sometimes my phone does not ask me for the sim pin code when i turn it on. Would this mean if i didnt have phone pin on aswell it would allow anyone to get into my phone?

You can look for that in
TOOLS>SETTINGS>SECURiTY>PHONE AND SIM options

And, yes if the problem goes on that means ANYONE can enter your phone. 😞

Its always on i always use full protection. 😊 but sometimes it still does not ask for pin. Mmm

You should only be asked for the SIM pin after the SIM or battery has been removed from the phone

no you should be asked for the pin for the sim card every time you turn the phone on, which i am apart from a few times.

It won't ask for a pin if the phone reboots itself or if you use a reboot feature of such a program as FExplorer. If you power it off using the power button and then power it on it will ask for a pin. Also it will ask for a "phone" pin if you swap sim chips if you have that feature turned on.

This may not be pertinent but then again it may answer the question.

yeah I knew about when it was rebooting and if sim changed.
But sometimes when i am just turning it on after charging it doesnt ask for ppin, rare though under 1 in 50 times.
