Unblocking the PIN
If you enter your PIN incorrectly three times, your
SIM card is blocked. To unblock your SIM card, you
must contact Nextel Customer Care to get a PIN
Unblock Code (PUK).
Important: If you unsuccessfully enter the PUK code
10 times, your SIM card is permanently
blocked and must be replaced. If this
happens, all data is lost. You will get a
message to contact Nextel Customer
Care. Except for making emergency
calls, your phone will not function with a
blocked SIM card.
To unblock the PIN:
1 Press * # m 1.
2 At your Nextel Customer Care representative's
request, provide the information needed to give
you a PUK code.
3 Select Unblock PIN.
4 Enter the PUK code.
5 Enter a new 4- to 8-digit SIM PIN.
6 Re-enter your SIM PIN.
Note: These steps must be performed in quick
succession.

If you entered the codes properly, SIM Unlocked
appears on the display.
Inserting and Removing Your SIM Card
Important: Do not touch the gold-colored areas of
your SIM card.
The SIM card is designed for optimal Contacts
storage and feature use. For Nextel SIM card
compatibility information, visit www.nextel.com/sim.
If you remove your SIM card and use it with another
phone, or use another SIM card with your phone,
the following information is erased:
• The recent calls list
• Call forwarding settings
• Net alerts
• Information stored in Memo
• 3 most recent GPS Enabled locations
• Voice records*
• Voice names*
Note: In some cases, Contacts may not be
accessible if you move your SIM card to
another phone. Contacts entries created
with your i530 phone are not readable by
an older iDEN SIM-based phone.
