Is it Risky to deactivate the PIN code Security Protection on my SIM?
Well, we understand that at this moment the PIN code lock might seem useless, and even inconvenient because it’s locking you (the rightful owner) out of the SIM. However, it is in fact kind of risky to remove completely the SIM PIN protection because you’ll be leaving unprotected all the important pieces of information that your SIM card contains.
What we would recommend is that you just go ahead and unlock your phone and then change the SIM PIN code to an easier-to-recall one. Remember that these codes can protect you against scams and identity theft, and in general, secure your private information!
Principal Ways to Unlock SIM Cards
Unlocking a SIM card is not that complicated if there is a working option to get your PUK number (Personal Unlock Key) through your mobile carrier’s official website. You can try visiting your mobile carrier’s website but let us warn you that most of the time, once the SIM card is locked, you end up having to contact customer support or go personally.
If you don’t want to waste your time with them, then the other option is to get the PUK code with an external unlock service like ours. Keep reading to know a little more about those two unlock options and why is SafeUnlocks the best alternative.
Getting the PUK Code of your locked SIM via Customer Service
Contacting your carrier is the principal yet less convenient way of unlocking your SIM card. That’s because of all the time it takes to call customer service, you are usually there for too long and nobody fixes the issue, not to say that you usually end up being told to go personally to one of their offices.
Now, if either way you want to try this option, keep in mind that your name must be on record as the original owner of that SIM card and that you’ll have to contact your SIM card’s corresponding carrier directly. If you don’t know which specific company is it, we’ll leave some ways to find out below.
How do I know which is my SIM Card Carrier?
- Take your SIM card out of your mobile phone and look if it has any logo printed on it.
- Enter your phone mobile number into an external carrier lookup tool for it to tell you which is its network service provider.
- Go to the SIM card manager section on your phone’s settings app and check which mobile operator appears on your network selection.
- Check out your last phone bill to see the name of the company sending it.
