THEFT OF SiM CARD

[G+e+l]

What is the point in adding security to a SiM card by using a "PiN" - if a thief can just bypass it by using "00000000". 

Please advise?

@G+e+l  Has your sim card been stolen?

I'm fairly sure you can change the sim pin when you get it

To add or remove a SIM PIN:

1. Go to Device Support and select your device make and model.
2. Search for ‘SIM PIN’.

Hi @G+e+l  you aren't talking to sky CS here just fellow customers. This has been raised before with no response from sky. Having a standard PUK using the digits you have mentioned does seem pretty pointless. On other networks I have used you are provided with a PUK specific to you.

Hello GD1,

You misunderstood the question.

Hello 63johnw, 

Thanks - understand now. 

A bit stupid by Sky - as can be a good security feature.

As your thread title is "THEFT OF SiM CARD" it's natural to assume your SIM card has been stolen which you haven't confirmed either way. Perhaps a different title could have avoided any confusion.

Hi,

There was no ambiguity in my question.

63johnw knew exactly what I was asking and was spot on with resolving my issue.
