Why are people on the mobile help line who are not aware of it being good practice to lock your sim so it can't be used if found or stolen? The problem is the sim has a lock number that needs to be entered so it can be changed. You get three goes and then its a new sim.
The people I have spoken to on the phone say my phone is locked when its not I just want to enter a four digit lock code. Im getting quite close to cancelling if I get anymore disinformation....

Hia, As its on the EE network, wonder if its 1111 to get in to set up your own code, as you say you have 3 goes so may be worth a try.

According to the second post in this thread the default SIM code is ether 0000, 1111 or 1234; so, three choices and three attempts ... provided you type each one correctly, you should be OK .... but don't blame me if it goes wrong!

If Plusnet are following BT when they launched their mobile, the staff had no answers to questions like this, they left it for their customers to sort it out by trial and error

Yes, Plusnet really aren't up to speed on this one. The answer is 1111. And the default PIN for the voice mail is 0000. I hope they will get on top of this soon so that a simple question will be answered in an equally simple and accurate way.
