So phone won't send text messages suddenly and having found some advice the fixed dialing is on. But to turn this off I need the pin2, but I've no idea what this is or where to find it!
Can anyone help?
Mine wouldn't send texts after a recent update. I force closed the messaging app in settings and it worked fine after that
Pin 2 is usually on the SIM card, so you'll need to ask your provider what the code is

No, pin 2 is the PUK code and that code should be on the plastic card that holds the simcard incase you fail the pin1 3 times.

Actually its not. You have 2 PIN's on a SIM usually, and PIN2 doesn't get printed on any of the supplied details with the SIM.
For each PIN, there is a corresponding PUK and PUK2.
And then you discover it's a network problem!

How do I find out what my PINs are? I'd like to know so that I can change them to my own personal numbers. PIN 1 (Phone) says there is only 1 attempt left and I've never even tried to access it to change it. PIN2 (Sim Card) says there are 3 attempts left and again, I've never tried to access it.
T-Mobile's Technical Support say they have no idea what they are.
Anyway to access this information so that I can find out what they are?
Thanks.
Well, to no avail I SIM locked my phone. lol. I ended up having to call T-Mobile and request my PUK (Pin Unlock Code) to unblock it. Apparently, each and every SIM has their own unique PUK so what your PUK # is won't work for someone else.
SHOULD you ever happen to fall in to the unfortunate event that I managed to do just call your service provider and request the PUK #.
There are different steps to unblock phones on different services.
My service provider is T-Mobile, USA, and I will list the PUK process to unblock your T-Mobile service phone should you ever need it.
Request PUK from T-Mobile customer service.
Unlock PIN code (PUK) (when PIN is entered wrong 3 times) **05*PUK*NewPIN*NewPIN#
If nothing happened after pressing the "#", then press send.
e.g. **05*XXXXXXXX*NewPIN*NewPIN#
Hi guys. I have a problem a bit similar to the ones I read earlier but my problem is that I entered my PIN code and phone didn't recognize it. Now I should have an option to enter PUK code and everything would be fine, but I don't have that option. My screen says: "Take a look at the manual or contact with your service provider" (something like this, my phone language is Polish so I may translate something not correctly). I did take a look at the manual but there was nothing that could solve my problem so I'm asking you, members of xda community, is there any way to solve this problem without taking phone to my GSM provider?
If you are using custom rom try full wipe maybe it would hep

It didn't work, but it turn my phone language into english so I can write what it says:
"SIM card is PUK-locked."
"Please see the User Guide or contact Customer Care."
If you inputted a incorrect PIN for too many times the SIM card will lock up and require the PUK to reset the PIN failure counter - that much the phone is actually doing right.
If you don't have a possibility to enter the PUK then all you can do is to see a service point of your mobile operator to have the SIM card resetted.
There's pretty much nothing you can do as that's a security function of the GSM card and not the phone or the OS.
EDIT: Any chance entering **05*<PUK Code>*# or **05*<PUK Code>*<New PIN>*<New PIN confirm># works? (in case you can get to the dialer)
I can get to the dialer, but I didn't know that I can enter PUK there, I'll give it a try and write either it worked or not.

The second method worked! Thanks! When I use this first method it says that is either connection problem or MMI code is invalid.

Was your old sim card on a different network from where you got this phone from? If so speak to your carrier
This is the code you need to input when you stick a sim in a new phone. Some sims have this code some dont. You can add one or change the code as you wish. The existing code will either be something you set, or something the operator set on the sim. Have a loom at the operator docs. Sometimes these are defaulted to 1234 or 0000. Dont enter it wrong too many times or you'll lock the sim. You need the PUK code to unlock a sim for which the wrong sim pin has been entered too many times.
Other poss is that the Z1 is not sim free and is thus asking for an unlock code to allow you to use s sim from another network. There's a thread on here somewhere regarding what to type into the dialer to get to the service menu. The service menu will tell you whats locked.

no sir, it's the same network
Then go to your network provider and ask for another sim card, it should be free

Hey guys, currently in Italy and tried to SIM unlock my phone using the instructions in BadBoyz Rom so I can use a Wind SIM, but my phone keeps asking for a pin then a puk code. Please help.
I think this is a code which was provided to you by your Service provider. If you enter puk code incorrectly 3-5 times your SIM will get blocked. Call your service provider and ask them what is the number or look for the original papers included with the SIM card and you will find the numbers.

Hello,
I bought a new sim card with a new plan. it came with enabled 0000 pin code.
The problem is my P10 is not showing the message at start-up asking me for the pin code.. and i couldn't get network. I'm stuck at ''emergency calls only''.
Anyone has an idea about this problem ?
PS: i don't have any other devises on which i can delete the pin code.

I tried and it does not work.. it's like the device is not reading the SIM at all. when i try to set a sim lock (i know from my operator that it's already locked on 0000) it just said wrong code, remaining attempts: 3.

(If you have Dual SIM model) have you tried in both slots
Also, are you sure that the phone is unlocked for that operator
I doubt, if you would even remove lock for that SIM on another phone, that P10 would still show Emergency calls only

Yes, it's a dual sim model, i did try in both slots.. same result for the new sim with the preset PIN.. but i can set a code for the second sim (does not have a pin code).
The phone is unlocked for all operators.. it's just that it does not ask for pin code at start-up.. and acts like it didn't read pin locked sim cards at all.. it's not the first time i find myself searching for another device to delete the pin code.
