Disabling a SIM PIN on Android

Recently, I dusted off an old SIM card to use in an old phone and found that it still had a SIM PIN on it. This wasn’t a big deal as I knew the PIN to unlock but having to put in two codes (one to unlock the PIN and another to unlock the phone) was slightly annoying.

So, here’s how to disable a SIM PIN under Android:

  1. Go into Settings,
  2. Tap Security,
  3. Tap Set up SIM Lock,
  4. Untick Lock SIM card,
  5. Type in the PIN.

Your SIM will now be PIN free!
