SIM Lock
The SIM Lock gives you settings and information about the MiFi’s Subscriber Identity Module (SIM)
card. The SIM card inside your MiFi can be locked with a PIN code for additional security. If locked,
the PIN code must be entered before the MiFi can connect to the Internet. The SIM menu takes you
to the SIM page. The SIM menu has the following options:
•

lock has been turned on, and the SIM PIN must be entered in order to connect to the mobile
network. If OFF, the PIN lock feature is not turned on, and the SIM PIN is not required.
