Default SIM PINs
Some communications service providers (CSPs) issue their SIM cards pre-configured with the same default PIN on all of their cards. This practice is by no means universal worldwide and in some countries, different default PINs are set on each SIM issued. The table below attempts to document the behaviour of each network provider.
IMPORTANT: The information provided here is, to the best of our knowledge correct. Use of this information is of course at your own risk. Remember that a SIM will become “blocked” after 3 incorrect attempts to enter the PIN (after which the PUK will need to be entered).
